INTRODUCTION
This government organization is in charge of monitoring the Indian food business and making sure it abides by all laws. Their responsibility is to make sure the food is pure and complies with the criteria. It is your responsibility to dispose of any food that does not adhere to the rules.
Consumers still don’t trust the food business, despite it becoming one of the most sought-after sectors. The adulteration, addition of additives, or contamination of healthy food items is one of today’s largest challenges. Foods may include inferior adulterants due to practical and financial considerations. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), which monitors, regulates, and inspects the food production, storage, packaging, and handling methods of food industry operators, was founded by the Indian government to solve this issue. This ultimate authority’s principal goal is to regulate and oversee food safety in order to safeguard and advance public health.
Brief About FSSAI
The food sector has seen considerable changes as a result of the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006, which was passed to encourage food hygiene and quality. The Authority has offices in Delhi, Guwahati, Mumbai, Kolkata, Cochin, and Chennai, among other cities. According to the legislation, no one is allowed to open or run a food shop without first registering with or getting a license from the FSSAI. As a result, obtaining an FSSAI license or registration is now necessary for every company that produces, processes, packs, or distributes food. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, often known as FSSAI, is an autonomous agency approved by the Indian Department of Health and Family Welfare. Former Union Minister Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss created the Food Safety and Standards Act of 2011 (FSSAI), which went into effect in 2006, on August 5, 2011.
All food business operators (FBOs) in India are granted food licenses by the Foreign Security and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), a statutory body, in accordance with Section 31(1) of the FSS Act 2006, in order to control the quality of food in accordance with the FSSAI’s rules and regulations.

To receive FSSAI certification, you must also submit a sample of your product and other pertinent information. As a result, you can obtain the license if your product complies with FSSAI regulations. By adhering to the highest health standards, the FSSAI license assures the quality of the food and other items linked to food. As a result, it guarantees the consumer’s safety from poor-quality or contaminated food.
