Indian Regulatory Body On Food Safety Proposed
Started by Simon, Dec 19 2004 08:32 PM
A regulatory body unifying 16 laws pertaining to food safety, hygiene and food control management will be mooted during the Budget session of the Parliament. This will be combined with formulating a new policy for the food processing industry, said Mr Subodh Kant Sahai, Union Minister for Food Processing Industries.
The regulatory body, on the lines of the Food and Drug Administration or the European Union's law on food, could eliminate confusion on standards and quality, said Mr Sahai.
Addressing the annual conference of the All-India Food Processors' Association (AIFPA) here, Mr Sahai said a vision document on the significance of the food processing industry and its role in accelerating economic growth would soon be prepared. The Minister said the country had to take an aggressive stance to increase its share in the global processed food market.
