CAPSI Chairman Kunwar Vikram Singh Raises Concern Over Health Warnings on Traditional Indian Snacks

A recent proposal to put health warnings on popular Indian snacks like samosas and jalebis has raised strong concerns. This move could seriously harm the halwai economy — the local sweet and snack shops that have been an important part of India’s culture and small business for generations.

These snacks are more than just food. They are part of our festivals, traditions, and daily life. Adding health warnings may scare people and reduce their trust in these age-old delicacies, directly impacting the small shop owners who depend on them for their livelihood.

Meanwhile, fast food items like burgers, French fries, and pizzas — which are often made with unhealthy ingredients and linked to rising obesity among youth — continue to be sold without any such warnings. This has led to questions about why only traditional Indian food is being targeted.

Kunwar Vikram Singh, Chairman of CAPSI (Central Association of Private Security Industry), has raised this issue and expressed concern. He said that this kind of one-sided action could damage our local economy and traditional businesses, just like malls and online shopping have already affected small kirana stores.

Instead of blaming traditional Indian snacks, the focus should be on promoting balanced eating and healthy lifestyle habits. Every type of food — whether Indian or Western — should follow the same health rules.

Protecting our small businesses and food culture is very important. The halwai shops are not just sellers — they are keepers of our food heritage and a proud part of Indian life.
