FSSAI Plans Stricter Regulations for Online Food Platforms and Quick Commerce
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is intensifying enforcement across food sectors, focusing on quick commerce platforms, cloud kitchens, and packaged foods. It plans to amend regulations to require online platforms to display manufacturing dates, expiry dates, and batch numbers, enhancing consumer transparency. Inspections of dark stores and cloud kitchens have increased following complaints about misleading product information. These measures aim to improve food safety and compliance, potentially raising operational costs for businesses while benefiting organized players.
