FOOD SAFETY IN INDIA CURRENT STATU.pptxAnwaar Ahmed
The document discusses food safety in India and outlines the key issues and challenges with food safety regulation. It provides background on food production and trade in India. It then summarizes the main provisions and objectives of the Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006, which consolidated multiple laws and established a single regulatory body, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. The act aims to ensure safe and wholesome food through strengthened standards, monitoring, and enforcement. It outlines the new regulatory framework including licensing authorities at central and state levels.
The document discusses food safety in India and outlines the key issues, challenges and the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 which was implemented to address these issues. The 3 key points are:
1. India has a large and growing food industry but faced issues with multiple overlapping laws, varied quality standards and a lack of a single regulatory authority.
2. The Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 consolidated various laws to establish a single reference system and a single regulatory authority called FSSAI to regulate and monitor food safety.
3. The act aims to ensure safe and wholesome food through setting science-based standards, improved enforcement structure, monitoring systems, and empowering consumers.
Here are two examples where performing a risk assessment may be beneficial:
1. When introducing a new ingredient or food product. A risk assessment could help identify any potential biological, chemical, or physical hazards and evaluate the risk to consumers from exposure to help ensure the product is safe.
2. After receiving consumer complaints of illness related to a product. A risk assessment could help determine if there is a link between the product and illnesses by identifying hazards, evaluating exposures, and characterizing potential risks to understand what controls may need to be implemented.
Performing a risk assessment provides a systematic, science-based process to identify hazards and evaluate potential risks to public health from a food. This can help inform risk management decisions to improve food safety
Traceability and trackability and recalls.pptxAnjaliJaiswal77
Traceability and trackability are important tools for food safety. Traceability allows identification of the location and process of food production, while trackability keeps a record of the whole process. Traceability has several benefits, including controlling food hazards, providing reliable product information, and guaranteeing authenticity. It can be classified by activity (external traces items between distribution channels and internal traces raw materials to finished goods) and direction (forward traces location and backward traces origin). Efficient product recalls require an ability to trace which products are unsafe and communicate this information. Identification, status monitoring, and unique tracing are important aspects of traceability systems. Certification and traceability are important for market access and competitiveness.

This document discusses the organic certification process and its benefits. It explains that organic certification provides third-party confirmation that a farm or handling operation complies with organic standards, allowing them to market products with a USDA organic seal. The certification process involves an inspector verifying an operation's compliance with organic standards through an on-site audit of activities and records. Maintaining thorough records provides multiple benefits like identifying problems, improving management, and ensuring organic integrity.
The WTO Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement aims to protect human, animal and plant life from risks arising from additives, contaminants, toxins, or disease-causing organisms in their food. It recognizes standards set by Codex, OIE and IPPC to harmonize SPS measures between countries. The SPS Agreement requires that measures be based on scientific principles and risk assessment, be non-discriminatory, and be no more trade-restrictive than necessary to protect health. Problems in implementing the SPS Agreement include non-compliance with international standards and lack of notification, awareness, and development in some areas.

Traceability has become a regulatory requirement in both the EU and US to identify unsafe food and enable recalls. It allows food to be tracked from farm to fork through all stages of production, processing, and distribution. While traceability ensures compliance, it can also provide brand protection and market access opportunities when customers demand transparency in supply chains. Technologies continue to advance traceability capabilities from paper-based systems to electronic tracking using barcodes, RFID, and analytical techniques. Effective traceability gives organizations supply chain visibility to communicate their practices and story to consumers.
This document discusses key differences between generic and cold chain supply quality management systems. A Middle Eastern cold chain is more expensive due to temperature extremes and immature regulations. Qualification and validation are often misunderstood, with qualification establishing a process can meet standards through testing, while validation tests a process under controlled conditions. For manufacturing, processes can be validated, but distribution is variable so can only be qualified. Extending quality oversight beyond manufacturing, understanding regulators, having product knowledge, and documenting every cold chain link are critical for quality assurance. Tools like CCQI, HACCP, and inventory management systems can help optimize quality strategies for specific cold chain challenges.

A Review on Recent Advances of Packaging in Food IndustryPriyankaKilaniya
Effective food packaging provides number of purposes. It functions as a container to hold and transport the food product, as well as a barrier to protect the food from outside contamination such as water, light, odours, bacteria, dust, and mechanical damage by maintaining the food quality. The package may also include barriers to keep the product's moisture content or gas composition consistent. Furthermore, convenience is vital role in packaging, and the desire for quick opening, dispensing, and resealing packages that maintain product quality until fully consumed is increasing. To facilitate trading, encourage sales, and inform on content and nutritional attributes, the packaging must be communicative. For storage of food there is huge scope for modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, active packaging, and controlled atmosphere packaging. Active packaging has a variety of uses, including carbon dioxide absorbers and emitters, oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, and moisture control agents. Smart packaging is another term for intelligent packaging. Edible packaging, self-cooling and self-heating packaging, micro packaging, and water-soluble packaging are some of the advancements in package material.
