Not just red and green, there are 5 different coloured markings on packaged food; do you know?

In India, packaged food often carries small colored markings that go beyond the familiar red and green dots. These markings help consumers make informed choices based on dietary preferences and health concerns. Here's what each color signifies:

🟢 Green Mark
- Meaning: The product is pure vegetarian.
- Includes: No meat, eggs, or animal-derived ingredients.

🔴 Red Mark
- Meaning: The product is non-vegetarian.
- Includes: May contain meat, fish, poultry, or eggs.

🟡 Yellow Mark
- Meaning: The product contains egg.
- Why it matters: Important for vegetarians who avoid eggs but not other animal products.

🔵 Blue Mark
- Meaning: The product is medicinal or therapeutic.
- Usage: Should be consumed only under medical guidance.

âš« Black Mark
- Meaning: Indicates high chemical content.
- Includes: Preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors.
- Health Tip: Frequent consumption may affect digestion, liver, or kidneys. Especially common in snacks and sweets for children—use sparingly.

These markings are subtle but powerful tools for protecting your health and respecting your dietary choices. Next time you're shopping, give those tiny dots a glance—they speak volumes.
