FSSAI recommends looking for +F logo, denoting food product fortified with nutrients
Food Safety & Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) recommends looking for +F logo while buying food products such as salt, milk, cooking oil etc.
It is because +F logo symbolizes that the food product is fortified with nutrients for better health.

- Cooking Oil: Added Vitamin A and D
- Milk: Added Vitamin A and D
- Salt: Iron and Iodine
- Rice: Vitamin B12, Iron and Folic Acid

So next time you buy any of the food packets listed above, FSSAI recommends looking for +F logo. If a packet has this logo, it means that the food is fortified with nutrients as mentioned above. These small changes in your food can result in healthier and stronger you!
