The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) will soon make it mandatory for all food businesses to employ food safety supervisor, which will be a huge game changer and will eventually reduce compliance burden.
CEO Pawan Agarwal said, “Food regulator FSSAI is using technology in a big way to enforce its norms and has set up an IT platform for safety compliances to bring consistency and transparency in inspection.”
All food labs, which are FSSAI notified, are submitting food testing reports online on this network, he added.
A large-scale IT platform for Food Safety Compliance through Regular Inspections and Sampling (FoSCoRIS) is being put in place for adoption across all States.
