As the demand for organic products increases in India, so does the prevalence of misleading labels. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) warns consumers to be vigilant against fake organic products. To ensure authenticity, consumers should first look for the 'Jaivik Bharat' logo, which signifies compliance with certified organic standards. Additionally, checking for a valid FSSAI license number is crucial. Every certified organic product should also display an accreditation number linked to an authorized agency, confirming adherence to organic practices. It's important to remember that a higher price does not guarantee authenticity, as many counterfeit products are sold at premium rates. Lastly, consumers should carefully inspect packaging for clear information regarding certification and origin, as vague details may indicate a lack of authenticity. By following these tips, shoppers can make informed choices and ensure they are purchasing genuine organic products.
