Event Description
The Food Safety and Standards Regulations, 2011, notified in the Gazette of India dated 1st Aug 2011 have come in force since 5th Aug 2011 which subsequently got amended as Food Safety and Standards (Amendment) Act, 2014. It is thus important for all concerned stakeholders to get sensitized on the requirements & challenges they will face, with the enforcement of new Rules and Regulations.
Food processors, Food Service industry, Regulators, Exporters need to immediately start training their workforce for working towards implementation of Basic Hygiene Practices in their processing units and Supply Chain and simultaneously build in-house capability for conducting audits to identify the gaps for improvement.
In Schedule 4 of the Regulations “General Hygienic and Sanitary Practices need to be followed by All Food Business Operators”, the requirements have been detailed in Part II. While the entire document is important for all the Food Businesses Operators, it is this part which provides requirements significantly different from the earlier PFA & where Food Business Operators are most likely to falter if they do not gear up now.
To quote this part of the regulation “The establishment in which food is being handled, processed, manufactured, packed, stored, and distributed by the food business operator and the persons handling them should conform to the sanitary and hygienic requirement, food safety measures and other standards as specified below……………”
With this background, CII is organizing a one day Workshop for the Ready to Eat Sector on Food Safety and Standards: Preparing for the New Regulatory Regime on 22 April, 2015 at Park Hotel, Kolkata.
