Food safety watchdog Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has released a list of 12,000 standards for food additives and ingredients to eliminate the lengthy procedure of product approval.
The FSSAI currently has around 375 standards for the safety of food items in place. However, none of these standards cater to ingredients and additives.
Food companies are expected to benefit from the move as meeting these standards would eliminate the need for them to seek product approvals fr
