FSSAI
Definition
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is the national regulatory body that sets standards for food articles and regulates their manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import in India.
Why It Matters
Food and spice businesses operating in India generally require an FSSAI license or registration, and FSSAI standards influence the quality parameters buyers and processors reference domestically.
Example
A spice processing unit packaging turmeric powder for the Indian market operates under an FSSAI license.
