FSSAI tells food industry to get more responsible -Ananya Tewari

Industry members say government food safety body ignoring ground reality

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has given food operators who have been pointing fingers at the food safety body to pay more attention to their mandate—food safety. In an open letter addressed to all stakeholders, FSSAI has highlighted the importance of self regulation and the role of industry. It also points to how industry believes in “Make in India” initiative without paying heed to its concomitant policy of “zero defect and zero effect”. The letter, issued recently, clearly sends a message that industry needs to take responsibility at its end and has emphasised on the need for joint effort by saying, “please help us to help you”.
