FSSAI classifies packaged drinking water as ‘High Risk Food Category
Credit: Business Line
  • Packaged drinking and mineral water are considered a “High Risk Food Category” by FSSAI as a result of lack of BIS certification
  • This category of foods is strictly put to risk-based inspection.
  • Packaged drinking water and mineral water manufacturers will be at risk-based annual inspections.
    • Inspection will also be performed before the grant of the license or registration.
    • Centralized licensed manufacturers under high risk food categories will be at annual audit by an FSSAI recognized third party Food Safety Auditing Agency.
  • The industry has, in the past sought simplified compliance norms, such as removal of dual certification by the Bureau of Indian Standards and FSSAI.
