While understanding the full guide can be complex , Myperfectpack give you simple checklist to ensure your food labels are are per FSSAI guidelines .
Government agencies all around the globe have stringent policies in place for food labelling and food packaging designs. In India, the FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) is the authority that mandates the food labelling norms. Whenever there is a launch of a new food product or the packaging gets renewed, the producer needs to adhere to FSSAI guidelines on the labelling of food products.
With so many FSSAI label rules in place, there is every chance for errors creeping in. Any inadvertent mistake in complying with FSSAI food labelling rules may lead to fines, penalties, product recalls, or delays in a scheduled product launch. However, with proper knowledge of the FSSAI labelling rules, you can steer your product clear of all these situations.
