The Karnataka government has issued an order banning the sale, promotion, and advertisement of high fat, sugar, and salt (HFSS) foods within school and college campuses and a 50-meter radius around them. The ban aims to curb rising health risks among children and promote healthy eating habits. Schools and colleges must serve balanced meals comprising whole grains, pulses, fruits, vegetables, milk, and eggs, with moderation in oil and ghee use. Vendors near campuses must hold valid licenses, and regular inspections will be conducted to enforce the ban.
