Editor's Notes
- - The name was coined in 1989 by Stephen DeFelice.
- PRODUCT EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT = it is of utmost importance to examine each active ingredient and additive in the context of permissibility, standards and dosage of vitamins/minerals allowed as per the therapeutic, prophylactic, or RDA for Indians. PRODUCT ANALYSIS = Developing extracts of documents and authenticating them, Sample collection, Sample dispatch to concerned authority, Food analysis, Adjudication proceedings in case of incomplete analysis within stipulated period of time. DEVELOPING INDIA SPEC LABEL = Based on the results of a regulatory assessment of the product, India-specific label content and claims are developed. New entrants should also consider some of the health claims used in India and the requirements to be met to make specific product claims.
- As per the FSSA Act or any act thereunder. The Central Government shall, while prohibiting, restricting, or otherwise regulating import of articles of nutraceuticals shall follow the standards laid down by the Food Authority under the provisions of this Act and the rules and regulations made there under. Also, all imported products will be screened for safety parameters by an IT-enabled Food Safety System as a new initiative under the Food Safety and Standards Act.
- The Central Licensing Authority has engaged the National Institute of Smart Government (NISG) under the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology for the design and conceptualization of the IT-enabled Imported Food Safety System. This is done through the appointment of Authorised officers, who will head their respective teams in inspecting and providing clearance to the import products.
- IEC – Importer exporter code DGFT – Directorate general of foreigh trade
- An FBO may extract, isolate, manufacture or purify nutraceuticals from food or non-food sources. This can include preparing amino acids and their derivatives by bacterial fermentation under controlled conditions.
- Prebiotics – promote the growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms. EG: as seen in the GIT. Probiotics – are good microorganisms that help keep the digestive system healthy by controlling the growth of harmful bacteria. Eg: Yoghurt
- as specified by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and when the standards aren’t clearly defined, then as per international food standards body, namely Codex Alimentarius Commission shall apply. Since the general public is unaware about RDA in nutraceuticals, it is important for the manufacturer to ensure that nutraceuticals contain nutrients as prescribed by ICMR. For the ingredient for which the daily minimum and maximum usage levels have not been specified, the food business operator shall adopt the usage level based on relevant scientific data and retain the documentary evidence of such data and submit the documented scientific data to the Food Authority as and when called for. If additives are used in nutraceutical formulations then they must only be those additives as specified in Schedule VA or Schedule VE or Schedule VF in the nutraceutical regulation. A nutraceutical whose safety has been established in India or in any other country, shall be manufactured or sold in India only on prior approval of the Food Authority. For this purpose the FBO will need to apply to the FSSAI which will be accompanied by documented history of usage of at least fifteen years in India thirty years in the country of origin
- The three licenses are granted on the basis of the scale of operation of the food business which is being carried out.
- Food business operators are required to obtain a Central Food License, granted by the Central Govt. FBOs have to obtain the Central License for their head office, and if they have operations in more than 1 state Therefore, it is mostly applicable to the units who are having an annual turnover which is greater than 20 crores. The State License is issued by the State Government and it is important that you have operations in only 1 state. Therefore it is mostly applicable to the units having an annual turnover of more than 12 lakh. The Food business operators like petty food manufacturers and also the small-sized manufacturers are required to obtain the FSSAI Registration. The FSSAI Registration is however issued by the State Government. It is thus mostly for the units having an annual turnover which is up to 12 lakh.
