The Food Safety wing under the Health Department has yet again issued a warning to all food business operators and traders that they have to secure the mandatory licence or registration under the Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA).
The Commissioner of Food Safety, T. V. Anupama, said here on Saturday that as per the Packaging and Labelling Regulation 2.2.1(7) of FSSA, all food business operators should print their respective licence/registration number on the outer pack of their products. Packed foods may be sold only with the FSSA licence/registration number of the food manufacturer imprinted on the cover.
Small time traders and vendors should buy unpacked food products for retail sale from those food manufacturers with the mandatory FSSA licence or registration, she said in an official release here.
Display licence no.
All food business operators and traders should display the licence/registration number prominently in their establishment where the public can see it.
Ms. Anupama said food-related businesses, that functioned without the mandatory licence should immediately apply for licence.
