FSSAI intensifies food safety crackdown ahead of festive season

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued an order to strengthen food safety checks across the country as the festive season approaches. The directive aims to prevent the sale of adulterated and unsafe food products to consumers.

The order mandates strategic deployment of Food Safety on Wheels (FSWs), mobile laboratory units equipped for on-site food testing, in high-traffic markets. This move is intended to enable rapid detection and prevention of contaminated products from reaching consumers during peak shopping periods.
