Manufacturers of food items that are packed and sold should have FSSAI license number on the packing cover. They also provide manufacturing date and the date by which the food items should be consumed (i.e the expiry date). For complaints and other related, manufacturers' toll free number/contact number, emailid and contact address are normally found on the packing cover. One can contact the manufacturers directly with the complaints and if not satisfied, can get in touch with FSSAI. more
For manufacturers of standardized food items, FSSAI has changed the text book approach to standardized product list approach. Standardized approaches follows the international or global practices (some may prefer to call the approach as `copy and paste' approach) that in many cases may not be relevant to many of the localized approaches. Non-standarized food products can be proprietary food, Non-specified food, Health supplement, Nutraceuticals etc. FSSAI faces manpower crunch and many vacant positions need to be filled with qualified candidates. more
