Market Challenges

• The global nachos market faces challenges due to stringent government regulations on nachos manufacturing. These regulations focus on food safety, business operations, insurance, and fire safety, requiring significant investments from manufacturers. Compliance involves financial obligations such as licensing, permits, and mandatory food safety training. Standards like ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, IFS Food, and BRC Food Standards are relevant. IFS Food assesses product and process quality, while FSSC 22000 emphasizes a robust food safety management system. In EU countries, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sets rules, and in India, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is responsible. Compliance is crucial to protect brand image but can negatively impact market growth during the forecast period.
