Dear friends,
I am attaching copy of Food Safety & Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Business) Regulations 2011 which have come into force on 5th August 2011.
As per the Regulations:
1) No person shall commence any food business unless he possesses a valid licence. Every licence holder is required to file periodical returns.
2) Even every petty food business operator (which includes hawker, temporary stall holder and person running a canteen) is required to get himself registered on payment of prescribed fee.
3) Every such operator has to follow detailed hygiene and safety requirements provided in Schedule-4 of the regulations.
Thus all contractors running canteens in offices and factories will have to get themselves registered under the regulations.
Regards,
From India, Malappuram
