New processing techniques and better supply chain infrastructure have infused new vigour into India’s food industry, even in the trying economic conditions. The industry’s dynamism has been matched by the constantly evolving regulations of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).

A lot has happened since the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (FSSA), replaced the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. The FSSA introduced the system of “standards” which are proven scientifically and shifted the statutory focus to compliance instead of prosecution.

The FSSA governs the packaging and labelling of food products in India.
