Importance of Food Regulations

Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 prescribe the labeling requirements of pre-packaged foods and display of essential information on premises where food is manufactured, processed, served, and stored.

Food regulations are important and necessary to regulate and monitor the manufacture, processing, storage, distribution, sale and import of food so as to ensure the availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption. Food laws are enacted to protect the consumers against unsafe, adulterated, and misbranded food, and fraudulent practices and also to facilitate the movement of food across borders.

The subject is an important factor in food business processes (including that of prepackaged food and food service establishments), guiding critical considerations in product development, food labeling, food marketing, advertising and labeling claims, and guiding consumer choices.
