FEEDING NUTRITIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA: A COMMENTARY ON FOODPHARMER IN SPREADING CONSUMER AWARENESS IN INDIA

Journal of Content, Community & Communication, 2023

This study delves into the impact of social media on nutritional awareness, focusing on the case of foodpharmer, a social media influencer, and its role in disseminating nutritional knowledge to consumers in India. As consumer expectations evolve, brands are increasingly compelled to communicate transparently. Recent instances in India have highlighted concerns about health and nutritional claims made by food companies. Prior research conducted in 2013 among urban consumers in major Indian cities revealed that despite the availability of food labels, the intended promotion of healthy food choices remained incomplete. This inadequacy necessitates a dual-pronged strategy: fostering public awareness regarding fundamental nutrition and elucidating the constituents of food labels to enhance consumer friendliness. Moreover, on April 1, 2023, Revant Himatsingka, a social media influencer known as Food Pharmer, claimed that Bournvita, a malted drink contained excessive sugar. Himatsingka faced legal action from Mondelez India, the producers of Bournvita, leading to the removal of the video from all platforms. This incident escalated into a significant controversy, prompting the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) to request the brand to retract any-misleading‖ advertisements, packaging, and labels. Along with that, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) emphasized its resolve to counteract false or misleading claims by food businesses, prioritizing consumer welfare. The study examines the transformative potential of digital media in empowering consumers to make informed dietary decisions. It investigates foodpharmer and the efficacy of his efforts in enlightening consumers about diet and health. It addresses the complexity of freedom of expression, underlining that Article 19(1)(a) encompasses the responsibility to provide accurate information about the food that people consume. This research highlights the need to separate the link between media advertisements and the right to health, emphasizing accurate nutritional information dissemination to uphold overall well-being.
