The Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) in association with the Indian Register of Quality Systems (IRQS) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will hold an awareness programme here on Food Safety and Standards Act and Food Safety Management System on June 9 at the Convention Hall of the GCCI.
The awareness programme is aimed at educating various stakeholders such as food processing units, hotels, restaurants, and so on, with provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and Food Safety Management System. The programme will provide participants with basic knowledge of effective implementation of processes, and contribute to the continual performance improvement of the organisation which they represent.
The Act would be implemented strictly and hence it was important that all Goa-based units which deal in various aspects of manufacture, storage, distribution, and sale of food be fully aware of the rules and be prepared for its implementation.
Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, consolidates various acts and orders that had hitherto handled food-related issues in various ministries and departments. The Act had been created for laying down science-based standards for articles of food and to regulate their manufacture, storage, distribution, sale, and import to ensure availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption.
