Plans to make FSSAI single regulator to regulate food industry and trade.
Feb 09, 2024
The Union Health Ministry has disclosed a plan to make FSSAI a single regulator to regulate the food industry and trade in India.
In a meeting chaired by the Union Health Secretary here, several crucial amendments to streamline food safety and standards regulations were also approved.
These amendments related to both horizontal and vertical aspects of the FSS Act that will replace the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) or AGMARK certification for food products.
'After the amendments are finalised, food businesses would not have to go to different authorities for mandatory certification with only FSSAI certification being made mandatory for food products,' reads a statement by the Union Health Ministry.
Other approvals include standards of Mead (Honey wine) and Alcoholic Ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, revision of standards of milk fat products, standards for Haleem and so on.
The food authority also approved a first-of-its-kind and comprehensive manuals of methods of analysis for ensuring regulatory compliance of the food products.
The amendments across different Food Safety and Standards Regulations were approved in the meeting for draft notification to invite stakeholder comments before finalisation.
These regulations included the revision of standards of Milk Fat Products, as part of which the fatty acid requirements for ghee will also be applicable for other milk fat products.
The food authority is also going to set standards for ‘Haleem’ as part of standards for meat products. Haleem is a dish made of meat, pulses, grains and other ingredients, which currently does not have any set standards.
The meeting was also attended by FSSAI officials.
