FOOD SAFETY AND STANDARDS AUTHORITY OF INDIA

Food safety and standards authority of India is known as fssai in short, FSSAI has been created for establishing standards related to food articles and also to regulate processes related to food manufacturing. There by ensuring the availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption.

Purpose OF FSSAI

The FSSAI was established to increase the efficiency & to decrease the complexity of food registration & regulation in India.  As time passed by a clear need was arisen for a statutory body to regulate the food safety across the nation as the prevailing standards were very chaotic. The management of food safety regulations in the country became very difficult, as the authority were decentralised among various departments across the nation. Finally FSSAI was set up as a remedy and to bring out better service. Today it is mandatory to get a FSSAI licence for anyone, related to food business.
