The FSSAI has issued an order, for the implementation of an 'agreement' signed between FSSAI, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, and Bhutan Food and Drug Authority (BFDA).
The 'agreement' was signed at Thimphu on March 21, 2024, and aimed at recognising the official control exercised by BFDA on Food Business Operators (FBOs) as equivalent to FSSAI's requirement and the BFDA shall issue a Health Certificate as proof of compliance with the requirements prescribed by FSSAI, for export of food products to India.
The order also specifies requirements for compliance and smooth implementation of the agreement.
The requirements include, that if the imported food consignment from the Bhutanese manufacturer, with the scope of approval as per the list, is accompanied with the prescribed Health Certificate duly issued by the BFDA Competent Authority, then NOC may be given to the consignment based on the duly compliant accompanied Health Certificate.
