The FSSAI has issued a direction for the implementation of Fortified Rice Traceability (FoRTrace) Application within FoSCoS.
This facility will have single sign-in facility into FoRTrace portal through FoSCoS (Food Safety Compliance System) wherein manufacturers of Premix for FRK, FRK and Fortified Rice can create multiple sub-users for entering data.
This will also help in integration of FSSAI's INFoLNet (Indian Food Laboratories Network) portal for enabling availability of lab test reports on FoRTrace portal and dissemination of sample testing findings to relevant stakeholders.
According to FSSAI, the application aims to unite diverse stakeholders engaged in Rice Fortification onto a single platform, fostering transparency in record-keeping regarding production, raw material utilisation, and sales.
"This will enable end-to-end traceability within the Rice Fortification value chain," reads the direction issued by FSSAI.
The FSSAI earlier mandated that every manufacturer of Premix for FRK and FRK shall upload lab test report of every batch of their production on FoSCoS along with the declaration of the source of iron and the blending ratio.
Further, as per the Conditions of Licence of Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011, every manufacturer shall 'Maintain daily records of production, raw materials utilisation and sales separately' along with 'Ensuring Clean-In-Place systems (wherever necessary) for regular cleaning of the machine & equipments'.
