FSSAI Launches Online Platform For
Food Inspection, Sampling

Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has launched a nationwide online platform to bring in transparency in food safety inspection and sampling.


The food safety regulator states to adopt this system as it would help eliminate discrepancy and make food safety officers accountable.


The web-based 'FoSCoRIS' system will help verify compliance of food safety and hygiene standards by food businesses as per the government norms. The new system will bring together all key stakeholders - food businesses, food safety officers (FSOs), designated officers, state food safety commissioners on a nation-wide IT platform and data related to inspection, sampling and test result data will be shared seamlessly by all the officials.


"This system will give a clear picture to the FSSAI on the real-time basis and helps eliminate any discrepancy, hence inspection is accountable,” shares FSSAI in a letter written to states. Directing the states to adopt the new system, the FSSAI said this requires a hand-held device with internet connectivity with FSOs.
