The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has directed all licensed food manufacturers and importers to submit quarterly data on such foodstuffs, through an online portal, to ensure that rejected and expired food items are not being rebranded and sold for public consumption
The latest provision issued on December 16 applies to licensed food manufacturers and importers. As per the FSSAI, the latest directive covers three key areas – quantity of products failing internal quality testing or inspection; volume of expired or returned products from the food supply chain; and detailed records of product disposal, including destruction, auction, or alternative use, with specific buyer and waste disposal agency information.
