Revant Himatsingka also addressed common misconceptions surrounding marketing terms like “natural” or “natural flavours.” He warned consumers that these terms are often used as marketing gimmicks and do not guarantee the absence of harmful or synthetic substances.

“Just because a label says ‘natural’ doesn’t mean it’s healthy or free from chemicals,” he emphasized. “People need to look beyond marketing buzzwords.”

Simple Label-Reading Tips from FoodPharmer

To help consumers make more informed choices, Himatsingka shared three straightforward label-reading tips:

1. Look for ingredient clarity — avoid products with long lists of unfamiliar chemicals.

2. Check for banned or questionable additives like titanium dioxide and synthetic dyes.

3. Don’t be fooled by vague terms such as ‘natural flavours’ — always research ingredients.

As more Indian consumers grow conscious about food safety and quality, voices like FoodPharmer’s are becoming crucial in raising awareness about what really goes into packaged foods.
