Food Safety and Standards Authority of India extends deadline
Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has extended the deadline by another six months for food companies to get licenses to run their businesses. Now, food companies can secure a license by February 4, 2016.
The decision has been taken after the Union health ministry considered representations from various stakeholders including food companies and industry associations. Industry was demanding for an extension of one year.
Section 31 (1) of Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 provides that no person shall commence or carry on any food business except under a license.
