The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is an autonomous body established under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. It is responsible for setting food safety standards, regulating food businesses, and ensuring the safety of food products in India.

The primary objective of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 is to ensure the safety and quality of food products in India. It aims to protect consumers from unsafe and substandard food products, and to promote public health and safety.

FSSAI has several key responsibilities, including setting food safety standards, licensing and registration of food businesses, inspection and enforcement of food safety regulations, and promoting food safety awareness among consumers and food businesses.

The maximum penalty for violating food safety regulations in India is 10 years imprisonment, as per the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

Nutritional labeling requirements are not set by FSSAI. They are regulated by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Food labeling regulations serve multiple purposes, including providing consumers with information about the food product, preventing food fraud and adulteration, and promoting healthy eating habits.

Nutritional information is not a mandatory food labeling requirement in India, although it is encouraged.

Food additives serve various purposes, including enhancing the flavor and appearance of food, preserving food and extending its shelf life, and improving the nutritional value of food.

Cyclamate is not a permitted food additive in India.

The maximum permissible level of aflatoxin in food products in India is 15 ppb.

Influenza is not a foodborne illness.

Proper handwashing, cooking food to the proper temperature, and avoiding cross-contamination are all important ways to prevent foodborne illnesses.

Consumers play a vital role in ensuring food safety by reading food labels carefully, reporting unsafe food products to the authorities, and practicing safe food handling at home.

Promoting healthy eating habits among consumers is not a responsibility of food businesses under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

Food research and development plays a crucial role in ensuring food safety by developing new food safety technologies, identifying and addressing emerging food safety risks, and improving the nutritional value of food products.
