The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued a draft notification to curb the use of plastic in pan masala packaging. "Sachets using plastic material shall not be used for storing, packing or selling gutkha, tobacco and pan masala," it said. It also suggests the use of paper, cardboard, or cellulose-based materials instead of plastic.
