The Nagaland Health and Family Welfare Department has mandated that all Food Business Operators (FBOs) operating within the state must acquire or renew their Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) licence and registration certificate for their food establishments by October 31, 2023.
This directive aligns with the Food Safety and Standards (Licencing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011, and emphasises the importance of adherence to food safety standards.
A spokesperson from FSSAI stated, "All Food Business Operators in the country are registered or licensed in accordance with the procedures laid down under the Food Safety and Standards (Licencing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011.
"All FBOs are required to adhere to Sanitary and Hygienic Practices as laid down under Schedule 4 of the said regulations. FBOs may also refer to the inspection checklists applicable to their food business which are available at FoSCoS Homepage," the spokesperson added.
Under Section 31 of the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006, no person shall commence or carry on any food business except having a valid FSSAI licence/registration. FSSAI Licence/Registration is premises-based and the procedure for applying is completely online through the Food Safety Compliance System - FoSCoS portal.
