a. FSSAI Registration

For businesses with an annual turnover of up to Rs. 12 lakh.

प्रत्येक व्यवसाय जिसका भोजन से संबंधित कारों से कुछ लेना-देना है, उसे यह सुनिश्चित करना होगा कि वे FSSAI लाइसेंस या पंजीकरण दिशानिर्देशों के अंतर्गत आते हैं। कुल मिलाकर, वे मानव उपभोग के लिए सुरक्षित और पौष्टिक भोजन की उपलब्धता सुनिश्चित करने के लिए निर्माण, भंडारण, वितरण, बिक्री और आयात को नियंत्रित करने के लिए मानक निर्धारित करते हैं।

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE FSSAI?

Food Safety and Standards Authority of India is an autonomous body established under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, under the Government of India. It is headed by a non-executive Chairperson, appointed by the Central Government, either holding or has held the position of not below the rank of Secretary to the Government of India. Being in charge of the entire country, they have their main office located in Delhi. They also have smaller regional offices across the country, like in Delhi, Guwahati, Mumbai, Kolkata, Cochin, and Chennai.

Each Indian state has its own State FSSA under the Act. Every FSSAI registration and State FSSAI license are issued by the state FSSA in which business operations are set up. The central FSSAI license is issued by the main FSSA authority.

FSSAI देश भर में खाद्य सुरक्षा को विनियमित और पर्यवेक्षण करके सार्वजनिक स्वास्थ्य को बनाए रखता है। वे खाद्य सुरक्षा और मानक अधिनियम, 2006 के दिशा-निर्देशों का पालन करते हुए ऐसा करते हैं जो कि खाद्य सुरक्षा और विनियमों के बारे में जानकारी वाला एक अधिनियम है।

FSSAI की भूमिकाएं और जिम्मेदारियां क्या हैं?

फसे पूरे देश में बहुत से महत्वपूर्ण भूमिकाएं निभाता हैं:

खाद्य सुरक्षा मानकों को निर्धारित करने के लिए विनियम बनाना।
खाद्य परीक्षण के लिए प्रयोगशालाओं की मान्यता के लिए दिशा-निर्देश निर्धारित करना।
केंद्र सरकार को वैज्ञानिक सलाह और तकनीकी सहायता प्रदान करना।
भोजन में अंतर्राष्ट्रीय तकनीकी मानकों के विकास में योगदान।
खाद्य खपत, संदूषण, उभरते जोखिमों आदि के संबंध में डेटा एकत्र करना और उनका मिलान करना।
भारत में खाद्य सुरक्षा और पोषण के बारे में जानकारी का प्रसार और जागरूकता को बढ़ावा देना।

What are the roles and responsibilities of the FSSAI?

They handle a lot of smaller tasks throughout the country, but their most significant roles are:

Framing of Regulations to lay down food safety standards.
Laying down guidelines for accreditation of laboratories for food testing.
Providing scientific advice and technical support to the Central Government.
Contributing to the development of international technical standards in food.
Collecting and collating data regarding food consumption, contamination, emerging risks etc.
Disseminating information and promoting awareness about food safety and nutrition in India.

Business Requirements and Replaced Laws

1. Business License Requirements

Every business that has something to do with food-related operations has to make sure that they fall within FSSAI Licence or Registration guidelines. Overall, they lay down standards to regulate the manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import to ensure availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption. The criteria for getting a licence would depend on a couple of variables:

nature of the business
capacity of production
area of operation
the scale of operations, etc.

2. Replaced Laws

With the introduction of the FSSAI, several smaller and narrower laws were replaced to bring in this all-encompassing Act. We bid farewell to the following laws:

Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954
Fruit Products Order, 1955,
Meat Food Products Order, 1973,
Vegetable Oil Products (Control) Order, 1947,
Edible Oils Packaging (Regulation) Order 1988,
Solvent Extracted Oil, De-Oiled Meal and Edible Flour (Control) Order, 1967,
Milk and Milk Products Order, 1992 etc. will be repealed after commencement of FSS Act, 2006.

3. Network and Information System

The FSSAI Act planned on establishing a network that helps all consumers, panchayats, local authorities, etc. to dispense speedy and reliable information about food safety across the country, while also creating a single authority and point of contact for all matters relating to food safety and standards.

4. Labeling Regulations

According to the new regulations of FSSAI, food businesses are not allowed to use or modify words like fresh, natural, pure, authentic, genuine, traditional or real on their food labels or packaging unless the products are not processed, or only peeled, chilled, washed, or trimmed.

5. License Number Display

The FSSAI license number is a 14-digit number that must be printed on all the food packaging by a business that is registered under the FSSAI. A business that fails to print its FSSAI number on packages may face heavy penalties.

6. Mandatory Requirements

Simpler rules that the FSSAI have made mandatory to follow are:

FSSAI logo with its license
Vegetarian / non-vegetarian Mark
Hall Mark
Ingredients in the product being made

Although it takes about two months to apply through the FSSAI and get a licence, post that, products take about 6 months to be approved by them and thereby launched into the market. Post this approval process, they would be allowed to use the FSSAI logo on their packaging. Additionally, this also means that they match all the other requirements of the FSSAI.

What constitutes an eating house?

Any permanent or temporary establishment that sells food can be termed as an eating house. These could be shops, restaurants, dhabas, food trucks, street food shops, bars, clubs and the likes. Additionally, food or refreshments of any kind, not including spirits, wines, beer, or other forms of malt liquors are sold for consumption. If liquors are being served or sold, the procedures change significantly since there are additional licences and liquor permits that are needed.

खाने का घर क्या होता है?

भोजन बेचने वाले किसी भी स्थायी या अस्थायी प्रतिष्ठान को ईटिंग हाउस कहा जा सकता है। ये दुकानें, रेस्तरां, ढाबे, खाद्य ट्रक, स्ट्रीट फूड की दुकानें, बार, क्लब और जैसे हो सकते हैं। इसके अतिरिक्त, किसी भी प्रकार का भोजन या जलपान, जिसमें स्प्रिट, वाइन, बीयर या अन्य प्रकार की माल्ट शराब शामिल नहीं है। यदि लाइसेंस के बगैर शराब परोसी जा रही है या बेची जा रही है, तो प्रक्रियाओं में काफी बदलाव होता है।

What is an eating house licence?

For any of the above-mentioned establishments to legally run and operate, they would need to apply for a licence and permit. This is a mandatory requirement and not something that they can choose to apply for. Made compulsory through the Delhi Police Act, if places are trying to function without the necessary paperwork, they could find themselves shut down permanently, their equipment confiscated and massive fines imposed. These licences have to be applied for under the state or city headquarters. The registration authority concerning Eating House Licenses is the Commissioner of Police and would have to handle this in their respective state.

ईटिंग हाउस लाइसेंस क्या है?

उपर्युक्त में से किसी भी प्रतिष्ठान को कानूनी रूप से चलाने और संचालित करने के लिए लाइसेंस और प्रमाण के लिए आवेदन करना होगा। यह एक अनिवार्य आवश्यकता है। दिल्ली पुलिस अधिनियम के माध्यम से लाइसेंस का होना अनिवार्य बना दिया गया, यदि स्थान आवश्यक कागजी कार्रवाई के बिना काम करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं, तो वे खुद को स्थायी रूप से बंद कर सकते हैं, उनके उपकरण जब्त किए जा सकते हैं और भारी जुर्माना लगाया जा सकता है। इन लाइसेंसों के लिए राज्य के शहर मुख्यालय के तहत आवेदन करना होगा। ईटिंग हाउस लाइसेंस से संबंधित पंजीकरण प्राधिकरण पुलिस आयुक्त है और इसे अपने संबंधित राज्य में इसे संभालना होगा।

Important Additional Information

In an effort to create awareness about food and its safety, the FSSAI has provided the common man with all the information they could need about various products that they purchase. All the information is not mandatory added to the packets so they can no longer be duped. Furthermore, they even force companies to recall their food and execute random inspections. Additionally, if companies try to make changes, they could get in trouble and if they do not register, they could be penalised for selling to the public.

Any individual planning on opening or running a restaurant or eatery would have to apply for an eating house licence as one of their basic requirements.

हालांकि FSSAI के माध्यम से आवेदन करने और लाइसेंस प्राप्त करने में लगभग दो महीने लगते हैं, उसके बाद, उत्पादों को उनके द्वारा अनुमोदित होने में लगभग 6 महीने लगते हैं और इस तरह बाजार में लॉन्च किया जाता है। इस अनुमोदन प्रक्रिया के बाद, उन्हें अपनी पैकेजिंग पर FSSAI लोगो का उपयोग करने की अनुमति दी जाएगी। इसके अतिरिक्त, इसका यह भी अर्थ है कि वे FSSAI की अन्य सभी आवश्यकताओं से मेल खाते हैं।

खाद्य और इसकी सुरक्षा के बारे में जागरूकता पैदा करने के प्रयास में, एफएसएसएआई ने आम आदमी को वह सारी जानकारी प्रदान की है जिसकी उन्हें विभिन्न उत्पादों के बारे में आवश्यकता हो सकती है जिसकी उन्हें खरीदे गए उत्पादों के बारे में आवश्यकता हो सकती है। सभी सूचनाओं को पैकेट में जोड़ना अनिवार्य है, इसलिए ग्राहक को अब धोखा नहीं दिया जा सकता है।
