fiogf49gjkf0d The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is at it again - all set to accord another extension to the February 4, 2013, deadline for Food Business Operators (FBOs), marriage halls and others for obtaining licence or securing registration under the Food Safety & Standards (Licensing & Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011.
FnB News has reliably learnt from sources in the apex food safety body that while officials concerned are in no mood to grant further extension, the same is being granted, owing to pressure from the health ministry. Meanwhile the Confederation of Indian Food Trade Industry, a body of food traders, hinted at six-month extension, a regulatory expert, on condition of anonymity, said the process would be prolonged by three months, and an office-bearer of a bakers association from the south admitted that they received a one-line assurance on extension from the body.
In two other related developments, S S Ghonkrokota, director (enforcement) has been succeeded by Col. C R Dalal, who was earlier director (administration) of FSSAI; and Dr Dhir Singh, joint director, with additional charge of director (QA) has been transferred to Mumbai as lab director.
