The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued an advisory directing milk producers who are not members of dairy cooperative societies, along with milk vendors, to obtain mandatory registration or a licence before commencing or continuing their food business operations. In the advisory, the regulator said that it has noticed that certain milk producers and milk vendors are operating without registering themselves or obtaining a licence for carrying out food business activities.
It has called for strict compliance with registration and licensing and directed concerned Food Safety Officers to verify that all such milk producers and vendors possess a valid Registration Certificate or License. FSSAI has also directed States and Union Territories to undertake special registration drives in their jurisdiction to ensure that all milk producers and vendors have the requisite FSSAI Registration Certificate or License.
