Maharashtra Schools Ban Junk Food Sales Within 50-Metre Radius

A food regulatory body has issued a directive prohibiting the sale, distribution, and promotion of high-fat, trans-fat, sugar, and salt (HFSS) foods in and around schools in Maharashtra. The ban covers popular snacks such as vada pav and samosas, which fall under the HFSS category. The restriction applies not only within school premises but also extends to a 50-metre radius outside school boundaries. The move is aimed at curbing children's exposure to unhealthy food options during school hours and in their immediate surroundings.
