Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • This gazette notification announces draft amendments to the Food Safety and Standards (Import) Regulations, 2017, proposed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). These amendments concern the methods of analysis used for imported food samples and the timeframe for reporting lab results.

Key Changes

  • Amendment to Regulation 10, sub-regulation (4), clause (b): Specifies that the FSSAI's prescribed manuals of analysis methods should be used. If a method isn't available in these manuals, validated methods from AOAC, ISO, Pearson’s, Jacob, IUPAC, Food Chemicals CODEX, BIS, Codex Alimentarius, Woodmen, Winton-Winton, Joslyn, or other internationally recognized agencies can be used.
  • Amendment to Regulation 10, sub-regulation (5): Requires notified or referral laboratories to submit lab analysis reports (in Form 2) within five days of receiving the sample. The report must be signed by the Food Analyst or Director.

Impact Analysis

Impact on Importers

  • The shorter timeframe for receiving lab reports (five days) may necessitate more efficient communication and coordination with testing laboratories.

Impact on Testing Laboratories

  • Laboratories may need to update their internal procedures to meet the new requirements.

Impact on FSSAI

  • The FSSAI will be responsible for finalizing the amended regulations after reviewing public feedback.

Suggested Action Items

  • All stakeholders should prepare for the implementation of the amended regulations once finalized.
