FDA Maharashtra to put FSSA online for Mumbai and Thane

Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Maharashtra is in the process of making the licensing and registration under the new Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA) available online on www.fda-mah.com. According to Mahesh Zagade, Food Commissioner, FDA Maharashtra, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is currently working on the software required for the same. The online forms will be available in English and Marathi.

“It is complicated as this is being offered in our field in India for the first time. We plan to launch this online option by the first week of December but it depends on when the software comes to us. We will first introduce the services to Food Business Operators (FBO) in Mumbai and Thane and based on its success will be available across the state,” Zagade revealed.
