Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • This gazette notification announces proposed amendments to the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011. The amendments concern the permitted use of food additives Natamycin in certain dairy products.
  • The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is seeking public comment on these proposed changes before finalizing them.

Key Changes

  • The proposed amendment adds Natamycin (INS 235) as a permitted food additive in two specific dairy product categories:
  • 1. Fermented milks (plain), not heat-treated after fermentation (maximum level: 5 mg/kg). This specifically mentions 'chakka' (a type of fermented milk product).
  • 2. Dairy-based desserts (specifically mentioning 'shrikhand'), (maximum level: 5 mg/kg).
  • These additions are made to Table 1 of Appendix A, under the heading “IV. Use of Food Additives in Food Products” within the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011.

Impact Analysis

Dairy Industry

  • Potential cost implications related to reformulation, testing, and labeling changes.

Consumers

  • Need for enhanced consumer awareness regarding the use of Natamycin as a food additive.

FSSAI

  • May need to provide guidance and support to the industry on compliance.

Suggested Action Items

  • Public awareness campaigns should be launched to educate consumers about the use of Natamycin in food products.
