Law Updates

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has introduced new regulations to improve food safety for online food sales. The new guidelines require e-commerce platforms to follow strict hygiene standards and transparency in their operations. Companies should ensure that all food handlers are properly trained in food safety and hygiene. They should also provide clear information about their warehouses and storage facilities. E-commerce platforms must share essential information about their operations on a specialized portal for better tracking and accountability. These measures aim to ensure that food sold through online platforms is safe, fresh and meets the highest quality standards. By complying with these new regulations, FSSAI aims to protect consumers and instill confidence in the online food market, ensuring that food safety is maintained at every step of the supply chain.
