 Emphasis on gradual shift from regulatory regime

 Consistency between domestic and international

 Grade penalty depending upon the gravity of

13.  The food safety regulator’s primary responsibility is
to protect the consumer by ensuring compliance by
ensuring compliance with food safety laws and
regulations, given that the public’s well being is the
ultimate objectives of a national food safety system.
Producers and processors, in contrast are in business
to make a profit and that priority may well impair
their perception of accountability to society.
Therefore, it is also the food safety regulator’s duty
to remind producers and processors of their
responsibility to produce safe foods. This message
can be made more relevant by explaining to food
producers and processors that the safety of their
products not only fulfils their responsibility towards
society- but may also be determined in developing
their business.
