Veg / non-veg logo on packaged food

RequirementRef. FSSAI-FSE-LBL-003
In plain language

Every packaged food item needs the correct green (veg) or brown (non-veg) dot-in-a-square symbol, sized correctly for the package -- this is a precise, regulated symbol, not just any indicator.

Official text

“Vegetarian food: green filled circle inside a green-outlined square. Non-vegetarian food: brown filled circle inside a brown-outlined square. Minimum diameters specified by package size.”
