Food Industry has grown up significantly in recent past and still mushrooming with emergence of restaurants and Food Business Operators (FBO’s) throughout India. Food Laws have been regulated by a comprehensive science-based law i.e. Food Safety & Regulation Act 2006 (implemented in 2011) (FSSA), which ensures food safety, manufacture, sale and distribution of food related products and prevent food adulteration in India. The Act has consolidated the various laws and Rules relating to the Food Industry.
