FSSAI and industry affiliation
Today there was an article in a business news paper about how FSSAI has evolved. The writer seems to be quite influenced and almost writing it as a mouth piece of FSSAI on how through industry collaboration FSSAI is doing well. I beg to differ. By asking industry to sponsor its key campaigns FSSAI is literally loosing its authority to hold the same industry wallas accountable. If ITC sponsors mascots of nutrition how will FSSAI hold them accountable when they violate tobacco laws.

Fssai is a body which sets up regulations. It has several committees consisting of scientists who do not have any connection with industries. I do not think there is scope for bias. more

FSSAI is an independent body to monitor and organize the quality products to be sold in market. It has authority to test and approve the products sold.

If it accepts sponsors it loses its independence and is liable to compromise on quality and quantity of products. Let us push for its individual authority and control. more
