Few of the general requirements of labelling and display of the packaged goods are:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the mandatory labelling and display requirements are given below, which are as follows:- <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is mandatory for all the food businesses operators to obtain the FSSAI License<\/strong><\/a> or register their food businesses in India. FSSAI has come up with the guidelines of FSSAI display board rules. On the basis of the turnover of the company, there are three categories of registration that a food business needs and they are Basic registration, FSSAI State License<\/strong><\/a> or Central FSSAI License<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After\nreceiving the fourteen digit license number issued by FSSAI. The food business\noperators need to follow certain FSSAI display board rules as introduced\nby FSSAI under Food Safety Display Boards (FSDBs) for displaying the\ninformation on the packed goods and in their business premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FSSAI has recommended to\ninclude the \u201cUse\nby\u201d or \u201cexpiry<\/strong> date\u201d on the label of the packages product means the\ndate which represents the estimated period\u2019s end under any storage conditions\nafter that the food product may not stay safe and shall not have the quality of\nsafety attributes of the food product as normally is expected by the food and\nthe consumers, and such food shall not be distributed or sold for human\nconsumption; <\/p>\n\n\n\n FSSAI\nhas\nremoved the requirement of\nlabelling and display of \u201cBest before\u201d as best before means that the food may be safe to eat but may have lost its quality. So, now the food cannot be sold if at any\nstage the food product has become unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Safe and healthy food is a constitutional mandate. It is important that FSSAI is mandating with regulations and having a strict implementation on labelling and display board norms and the use by or expiry date requirements on the packaged foods. FSSAI is the sole authority to ensure food safety and hygiene conditions of the food. Therefore, these guidelines and regulations must be necessarily obliged by the Food Business Operators so as to avoid cancellation of their food business and to ensure the FSSAI\u2019s objective of safeguarding food quality, public health and life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our article<\/b>:FSSAI on License for Fast Food Joints: Requirements & Guidelines <\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n5fd87c6a0f6adGazette_Notification_Labelling_Display_14_12_2020-1 The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) which is an autonomous body under Government of India for management of Health & Family Welfare are responsible for regulating food safety and protecting public health.
