Sodium-daily-share
- Rule code
- sodium-daily-share
A published recommendation. It is advice, not law.
What the guidance recommends
Fires when 100 g of a product carries a whole adult day of sodium, per the WHO daily figure. A fact about the pack, not a judgement on it.
WHO Guideline: Sodium intake for adults and children (2012)
Neutral flag - a note, attributed to its source. It is not a finding that any law was broken.
These are our readings of the regulations. They are not the regulations.
The notice published with this rule set
These are Laddoo's readings of the regulations, not the regulations themselves. The Gazette of India is the authority. Nothing here is endorsed by FSSAI. To report an error in a rule, cite the rule code and the clause you believe we have misread.
Every rule listed here is Laddoo’s plain-language reading of a published Indian instrument, written so that a shopper can act on it while holding a packet. A reading is an interpretation, and ours carries no legal force. Where our wording and the instrument differ, the instrument is right and we are wrong: the notification in the Gazette of India, and the text the issuing authority publishes, are the authority.
Laddoo is not a regulator and is not accredited by one. We have no connection to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, and nothing here is endorsed, approved, licensed or reviewed by FSSAI or by any government body. A flag on a product page is a prompt to read the pack for yourself - never a determination that a food, a label or a company is unlawful, and never medical advice.
If a rule here misreads its source, tell us. We will correct it and record the correction against the rule, so that the change is visible to the next person who reads this page.
What a shopper is shown
Fires when 100 g of a product carries a whole adult day of sodium, per the WHO daily figure. A fact about the pack, not a judgement on it.The rule matches when any of these 0 terms appear in the ingredient text read from the pack:
Matching is deterministic: the same label text and the same rule set always produce the same result. A model reads the photograph; it never decides the outcome.
