Non-Consequences Compliance

The FSSAI requires anyone who is registered or licensed to follow the FSS Act’s rules and regulations. In most cases, a food safety officer inspects the food business operator’s facility and uses a checklist to determine the level of regulatory compliance. The food safety officer assigns a grade based on the level of compliance.

  • Compliance (C) 
  • Non-compliance (NC) 
  • Partial compliance (PC)
  • Not applicable/Not observed (NA)

In accordance with Section 32 of the FSS Act, 2006, the food safety officer may issue an improvement notice if necessary. If the business owner does not comply with the improvement notice, the officer may suspend or revoke his license after giving him an opportunity to demonstrate cause. An appeal can be made to the State Commissioner of Food Safety by any food business owner who has been harmed by an improvement notice. An appeal to the Food Safety Appellate Tribunal/High Court might be filed in response to the ruling.
