    Food safety – Food for thought


    With over 2,000main food palettes, India is a food continent.With such a vast and diverse array of choices, food safety becomes a prime concern for one and all. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has established Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) as the parent regulatory body, with outreach in states and union territories through regional offices. The governing law is the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

    FSSAI has introduced sweeping reforms in this act through the Food Safety and Standards (Amendment) Bill 2020, which has enforced an enhanced regulatory framework across product, packaging, and raw material categories. These reforms give more teeth to the law and empower it to further safeguard citizens’ food safety and security, while enhancing the punitive mechanism against erring parties.

    As the laws get more stringent, so do the regulatory mandates. In such a reformed ecosystem, manufacturers and marketers need an agile and competent regulatory partner who can deliver cutting-edge solutions from start to finish. That’s why, CliniExperts – The one-stop regulatory service provider for the entire food sector.

    About FSSAI?


    It was established in 2008 with the prime objective of consolidating the hitherto decentralised rules and laws related to food safety, and providing a centralised, single-window governing and regulatory body. Thus, FSSAI acts as the main enforcer of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 and its amends. It lays down “science based” standards for food items across categories and regulates their manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import.

    As per FSSAI standards, all petty merchants and traders, hawkers, and other sundry sellers/resellers of food products with annual turnover below RS. 12 Lakh are required to be registered with FSSAI. All other parties, including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and large sales outlets are required to obtain an FSSAI license.
