The FSSAI has reclassified the points related to ‘food grade packaging material’ as ‘critical to food safety’ under an inspection checklist.
Presently, inspection checklists related to general manufacturing, milk & milk product processing, meat processing, fish & fish product processing and catering consider points related to food packaging material as ‘non-critical’.
“Considering the critical role of food grade packaging material in ensuring food safety and provisions of FSS Packaging Regulations, it has been decided to reclassify the point related to food packaging material as critical in the inspection checklist,” reads the order issued by the FSSAI.
Further, the order prescribed that the material used should be food grade and in sound condition and packaging material used shall have certificate of conformity issued by NABL accredited laboratory abasing FSS Packaging Regulations.
The FSSAI in March 2018 issued an order for implementation of revised food safety inspection checklists. The revised checklist was objective in nature, linked with marks with each point and is used to identify the level of compliance with each requirement that is set in the FSS Act.
