Description
(Act No. 34 of 2006, dt. 23-8-2006) Alongwith Rules and Regulations)
In India, we have plenty of food laws and have many regulatory bodies under these laws. Therefore, there is need to converge all present food laws and to have a single regulatory body. Therefore, the much needed legislation on Integrated Food Law should be expedited. In 1988, the Prime Minister's Council on Trade and Industry appointed a Subject Group on Food and Agro Industries had recommended for one comprehensive legislation on Food with a Food Regulatory Authority. Joint Parliamentary Committee on Pesticide Residues in its report in 2004 emphasized the need to converge all present food laws and to have a single regulatory body. The Standing Committee of Parliament in April 2005 in its 12th Report expressed that the much needed legislation on Integrated Food Law should be expedited. The main objective of the Food Safety and Standard Bill was to bring out a single statute relating to food and to provide for a systematic and scientific development of food processing industry. The establishment of Food Safety and Standard Authority of India is also the main qbjective of the Act which will fix food standards and regulate/monitor the manufacturing, import, processing, distribution and sale of food to ensure safe and wholesome food for the people of India. Therefore, the UPA Government introduced a Bill called the Food Safety and Standard Bill, 2005 in Parliament (Lok Sabha) on 25th August, 2005. The Bill was referred to a Select Committee and finally the Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha on 26th July, 2006 and by the Rajya Sabha on 2nd August, 2006.
