The Supreme Court has directed the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to implement food safety norms for packaged food items within three months. The decision comes after a public interest litigation (PIL) was filed seeking regulations for packaged food products to ensure consumer safety. The FSSAI has been instructed to ensure that all packaged food items comply with the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging and Labelling) Regulations, 2011. This move is expected to enhance the quality and safety of packaged food products available in the market. The apex court’s directive aims to protect consumers from health hazards associated with the consumption of adulterated or substandard food items. The implementation of these regulations is crucial for ensuring the well-being of the Indian population. The FSSAI plays a vital role in safeguarding public health by setting standards for food products and regulating their manufacturing, storage, distribution, and sale. With the deadline set by the Supreme Court, it is imperative for the FSSAI to expedite the process of enforcing these food safety norms to create a safer food environment for consumers across the country. This development underscores the importance of regulatory bodies in upholding food safety standards and protecting the interests of consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
