Have a glance over the fundamental guidelines of this initiative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>All fruit and vegetable traders must avail of an FSSAI food license from the respective portal. <\/li><li>The trader must manifest their registration number with the green color code on their shop, cart, or kiosk<\/li><li>The usage of carbide or acetylene gas on fruits is a punishable offense. <\/li><li>Stickers that lacks relevant details are ban from any sort of usages <\/li><li>Fruits and vegetables available at the vendor shall not contain harmful chemicals, coloring material, and mineral oil. <\/li><li>Only permissible wax products such as beeswax, carnauba wax, or shellac wax are only allowed to apply on fruits. The information about the same must be available on every package. <\/li><li>Cart or kiosk of fruit vendors must stay from the highly polluted area.\u00a0 <\/li><li>A third-party lab must examine the quality of water every six months to ensure safety. <\/li><li>Every fruit vendor is liable to maintain records of details of suppliers <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Under\nthis project, local authorities are obligated to render a legitimate list of markets\nand vendors to the FSSAI. Upon receiving this list, the State FDA officials\nwill conduct an audit of premises to comprehend its requisites. The officials\nthen deployed the required changes and guide the vendors accordingly. After\nperforming the said activities, the FSSAI panel will re-audit the premises to\ncheck whether the said changes came to effect or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After seamless re-auditing, the authority could bestow the Clean and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Market Certification to the respective applicant. It would remain valid for one year.
