Report
of Workshop on ‘RISK ANALYSIS FOR PROCESSED
FOOD MANUFACTURE’ |
| |
Food
Safety & Standards Act (FSSA) 2006 has a feature
of safety evaluation and standards making process
distinct from Prevention of Food Adulteration
Act (PFA) in that the new act will have safety
standards based on Risk Analysis. As this is a
new concept in food regulation in India, PFNDAI
decided to do a workshop to familiarize those
involved in regulatory affairs. Hence the first
workshop on ‘RISK ANALYSIS FOR PROCESSED
FOOD MANUFACTURE’ was organized on 15th
May 2010 at Hotel Orchid, Mumbai. This would be
followed by a series of workshops at different
locations in order to have a better understanding
of the concept both for industry personnel as
well as for those in regulatory agencies. |
Dr.B.Sesikeran
inaugurated the Workshop and Dr. G.M. Tewari,
Chairman of PFNDAI gave the Welcome address to
set the trend of the workshop. |
