Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's ruling that consumers have a fundamental right to know the origin of ingredients in food products, cosmetics, and drugs under Articles 19(1)(a), 21, and 25 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that this right is essential for individuals to practice their beliefs, particularly vegetarianism, and mandated clear labeling of products based on their vegetarian or non-vegetarian content. The judgment reinforces the necessity for transparency in consumer goods to enable informed choices.
