Retaliating to the report of Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), Pawan Agarwal, CEO, FSSAI said that the auditor’s office had ignored the work the regulator has been doing recently, and had only assessed years upto 2016.

Elaborating on the subject, Agarwal stretched that FSSAI has submitted a request to the government for 600 more staff and its review of the Food Safety and Standards Act, from which it will make recommendations later this year.

“The CAG report should be seen in the context of the huge and complex task at hand. The fact is that FSSAI is a new and evolving organisation and it faces severe constraints of manpower and resources,” said CEO.

“We assure citizens that they can trust the food they get. The FSSAI is confident that country’s food safety ecosystem is well on the way to become more robust and globally benchmarked in the years to come,” added Agarwal.
