FSSAI initiates prosecutions against Food Business Operators (FBOs) for violating the Food Safety and Standards (FSS) Act, 2006, including selling unsafe, sub-standard, or misbranded food, and operating without a license. Since April 1, 2023, over 1,411 prosecution cases have been initiated, with penalties ranging from fines up to ₹10 lakh to imprisonment.
Aspects of FSSAI Prosecutions Process: If a violation is not punishable by imprisonment, the Designated Officer (DO) directs the Food Safety Officer to file a complaint with an Adjudicating Officer for fines. Serious offences, such as selling unsafe food, can lead to criminal prosecution. Violations: Common causes for action include producing, storing, or selling unsafe, sub-standard, or misbranded food. Penalties: Sub-standard food: Penalty up to ₹5 lakh. Misleading advertisements: Penalty up to ₹10 lakh. Unsafe food: Punishment can include imprisonment and fines, or, in cases leading to death, imprisonment for life and a fine of not less than ₹10 lakh. Improvement Notices: Designated Officers may serve improvement notices for non-compliance, with failure to comply potentially leading to license suspension or cancellation. Recent Enforcement: Intense surveillance drives, such as those targeting nutraceutical manufacturers in Himachal Pradesh, have been conducted to ensure compliance.
