Addition of Food Products under “High-Risk Food Categories”

| December 2, 2024 |

On 29.11.2024, FSSAI issued an order revising food safety protocols by adding specific food products under high-risk categories following the removal of mandatory BIS certification.

Amendments to the RBIS Policy:

  1. Category 14.1: Non-Alcoholic (Soft) Beverages
    • Packaged drinking water and mineral water are exclusively classified as high-risk under this category.
  2. New Provision Inserted (Para II):
    • Inspection of manufacturers/processors for food products (which previously required BIS certification before the Amendment Regulations, 2024, dated October 17, 2024) is now mandatory before granting a license or registration.
    • Inspection Frequency: At least once per year.

For the official order and detailed guidelines, refer to the document here.
