India's Strict Food Safety Regulations Prompt Calls for Reassessment
India's food safety regulations, governed by the FSSAI Food Safety and Standards Regulations, 2011, are highly detailed and strictly enforced, leading to license cancellations for many food businesses, including institutional canteens. While these rules aim to prevent food contamination and poisoning, critics argue they are often unrealistic and result in closures even without evidence of harm. This has prompted calls to reassess the regulations to balance safety with practical compliance, ensuring food safety without unnecessarily penalizing operators.
