**Action Required**
The laboratories must ensure all food testing activities are conducted strictly within their designated scope of accreditation and maintain the registration details as updated in the notification.
**Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI)**
**Impact**
The authority has updated its regulatory framework to expand or refine the network of accredited laboratories available for food safety testing and compliance monitoring.
**Action Required**
FSSAI must implement these changes in their official records and ensure that enforcement activities recognize these updated laboratory details for statutory testing.
**Food Business Operators (FBOs) in Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu**
**Impact**
FBOs in these regions have updated options for laboratory testing required for regulatory compliance. They can now utilize the newly inserted laboratories or the updated services of the substituted ones.
**Action Required**
