Food Safety Helpline: your guide to the food quality check-up

The Food Safety and Standards Act was enacted in 2006, but those in the food industry are still unsure about its application in their day-to-day operations.Many who are aware of the Act occasionally have questions about food regulations and FSSAI enforcement provisions and don't know where to go for accurate information. There is still a segment of the foodservice the industry that is still unaware that they need a license to operate.

Food Safety Helpline

FoodSafetyHelpline.com has published over 1500 articles and answered thousands of questions since 2013, and we are now excited to extend our scope and support to many more food businesses. This online platform was created with the sole purpose of providing a useful and relevant resource for the food industry. The parent company, Auriga Research Limited, supported the small amount of money needed to get the website up and running.

Food Safety Helpline was founded in 2013 to help food businesses achieve their goal of self-regulation and enforcement by disseminating improvements in a concise and easy-to-understand format and answering questions with the help of experts in the sector.

The Role of FSSAI in Maintaining Food Safety

Large and small food companies, street food vendors, other regulators, consumer associations, and even international regulatory and standards bodies including ISO and FAO have been actively working with FSSAI.This has aided in the rapid evolution of rules and regulations to ensure the availability of healthy and nutritious food for everyone, while keeping all stakeholders' interests in mind and ensuring compliance with global regulations.

The food market is expanding at an unprecedented rate, which means that FSSAI enforcement and food safety are two critical considerations that cannot be overstated.FSSAI has issued over 500,00,000 licenses and over 20,00,000 registration certificates, according to data available from 2014. Chairman of Arbro Pharma, Mr. Vijay Kumar Arora, says:

“There are approximately 40 lakh food business operators which include: food manufacturers, food processors, importers, restaurateurs, wholesaler, retailers, marketers, etc. who still need to come under the purview of the FSS Act, 2006.” Since the food industry is extremely diversified where traditional foods stand back-to-back with packaged and ready-to-eat foods. Nutraceuticals, health, and dietary supplements, functional foods are all part of the industry. 

Dr. Saurabh Arora, Founder FoodSafetyHelpline.Com adds that “there was a general consensus that Food Safety Helpline could be used as a tool to spread awareness about food safety regulations and food hygiene to this diverse audience. Food hygiene is a much-overlooked aspect of the food business in India on the streets as well as inside restaurants.”

Future, Scope, and Conclusion

In a short period of time, Food Safety Helpline has earned a reputation as a trustworthy forum for the food industry. Food Safety Helpline would like to see a lot more of these food-related businesses sign up for the online portal. They will be able to encourage food safety on a wider scale as a result of this. The platform will ensure that the Indian food industry is growing safely.
