FBOs told to carry rectifiable labelling info of imported food consignment.
Jun 24, 2022
The FSSAI has asked food business operators to carry rectifiable labelling information of imported food consignment regarding per serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and date of expiry along with best before date at customs-bound warehouses.
Such rectification can be done by affixing a sticker next to the principal display, says the order issued by the FSSAI.
'The rectification can be carried out at customs-bound warehouses, before visual inspection or reinspection by the authorised officer or his representative, by affixing a single non-detachable sticker or by any other non-detachable method next to the principal display panel without altering the original label info in any manner,' reads the order.
According to the FSSAI, the decision was taken to facilitate ease of trade while ensuring safety of the food imported into India.
The FSSAI statement says, ‘It has been decided that in addition to the labelling deficiencies for which a special dispensation for rectification has been provided under the FSS Import Regulations 2017 (& other respective orders), and the labelling information as the requirement of FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2018, may also be allowed to rectify at port’.
As per FSSAI, FBOs can also rectify per serve percentage contribution of the recommended dietary allowance calculated on the basis of 2000kcal energy, 67g total fat, 22g saturated fat, 2g trans fat, 50g added sugar, and 2000mg of sodium (5g salt) requirement for the average adult per day.
Also, the date of expiry along with best before dates can be rectified subject to condition that this information was provided by the manufacturers itself and the same shall be verified by the authorised officer.
