Food safety has emerged as a significant global issue with public health and international trade implications. In India, unsafe food handling, doubtful food preparation, food poisoning and spreading of infectious food borne illness has been discussed by the public more often than before. Regulatory bodies such as Ministry of Health and FSSAI are imposing increasingly stringent – and ever broadening – standards to govern the imported, exported and domestic food products.
