NEW DELHI, April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Changing Scenario in Food Import Regulatory Framework in India, Learning Practical Techniques to Fast Track the Customs Clearance Process and Evaluating the Latest Sampling and Analysis Procedures to Streamline Import Process to be Discussed at the Forum
The FSSAI ((Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) has a mandate on ensuring safety of food items imported into the country. Therefore, all imported products must adhere to the rules specified in the act, which also includes labelling and marketing requirements. This is primarily done to safeguard the health of the consumer to prevent any food-borne illness due to consumption of imported foods. This will also help to check on the expanding array of imported food products.
