The Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry has welcomed the move by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSA) to extend the date for registration and licensing.
In a statement, chamber president S. Rethinavelu said that the FSSA has extended by six months the last date for registering and obtaining licence by food business operators. As a result, businesses have time till February 4, 2013 instead of the earlier deadline of August 5 this year. Obtaining licences and registration had been made mandatory for all those engaged in food-related industry under the Food Safety and Standards Act, which replaced the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act.
