In a recent meeting, held at FSSAI headquarters with the stakeholders, a proposed draft was discussed, which included revision of standards for ice cream, kulfi, chocolate ice cream, softy ice cream, milk ice, milk lolly and dried ice cream mix along with revision of standards for frozen desserts or confections with added vegetable oil/ fat or vegetable protein, or both.
It is learnt that the food regulator may include newer ingredients for the ice cream/frozen desserts industry. These ingredients include extracts of coffee & tea, malt, malt-based products, sweets, herbs and flower petals.
In the meeting, the stakeholders had given a presentation to the FSSAI officials and the regulator was asked to revise the standards. The stakeholders remarked that this would help the industry to introduce newer variations of their products according to the consumer demands.
In addition, the stakeholders have said that with herbal inputs the industry can experiment with their products and make them more contemporary and healthy.
It is further learnt that the draft for the same will soon be published for the larger public consultations, wherein subjects including labelling will be revisited.
