FSSAI: Customers will now notice a distinctive logo on milk packets when making purchases. The display of this logo will become compulsory for businesses that sell milk and milk-based products. To this end, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has introduced new guidelines. Notably, the logo’s dimensions will depend on the size of the packaging.

Beginning 1 July 2028, it will be obligatory for all milk and related dairy product packages to feature a logo that follows the specified design. These updated FSSAI rules apply not only to milk but also to all milk-derived products, including composite milk products. As a result, any item where milk is a key ingredient will need to carry this logo on its packaging.

The finalised logo design consists of a blue square containing a white drop of milk at its centre. Companies must ensure that the logo on the packaging adheres to this design. FSSAI has also set minimum size standards for the logo, determined by the area of the main display panel. Accordingly, smaller packs will use a more compact logo, while larger ones will require a bigger logo.

Main display panel area of the packet

6 mm for up to 100 sq cm
8 mm for 100 to 500 sq cm
12 mm for 500 to 2500 sq cm
16 mm for over 2500 sq cm
While companies may use a logo that exceeds the minimum size, they are prohibited from using one below the required dimensions.

Timing for the new regulation

The relevant FSSAI notification was issued on 6 November 2026 and appeared in the Gazette of India on 9 November 2026. This regulation will take effect from 1 July 2028. FSSAI released a draft version of this rule in February 2025, inviting feedback and objections from the public within a 60-day window. After reviewing the comments submitted, FSSAI has now issued the final amendments.
