Proper food packaging is extremely essential for any brand food product. It needs protection from chemicals and physical tampering. Packaging must also be environment-friendly and 100% recyclable. This ensures maximum security and preservation of the product during transport. Before consuming the food product, one must check the label on the product to see the nutrition information as well as a date of packaging. It is necessary to check the packaging properly and ensure that it is not puffed and the seal is intact. A big chunk of employment is required for the packaging activity. 


In India, the food industry has a huge growth and every year there is an increase in the contribution to world food trade. The food sector experiences substantial profit and has an extremely high potential value.

The main packaged food products consumed in India are given as follows:
