I need certain clarification to the licensing requirements by FSSAI.
1) Water analysis report a) Analysis Report (Chemical & Bacteriological) of water to be used as Ingredient in Food. What are the tests (Parameters) and standards to meet. Which standard to follow?
2) Certificate or plan of food safety management system being adopted (for units Under Central Licensing it has to be a certificate from accredited agencies) What are the elements of food safety management system? Which are these accredited agencies. Which accreditation is to be followed?
3)List of workers with their medical fitness certificates. What are the tests required to prove medical fitness?
4) NOCs From Municipality / Local Body Elaboration Please? Help on above questions is highly appreciated.
It is only proper that with India fast becoming an economic powerhouse and one of the fastest growing markets globally in all spheres, it should also become increasingly aware of Quality and Safety in all spheres of life and move towards adopting global standards. Food safety is one of the most important areas because it affects the entire population. The recent news about presence of Detergents and other impurities in 70% of Delhi's Milk supply is a case in point and matter of great concern. FSSAI's initiatives in implementing Food Safety Regulations & moving towards global standards like HACCP are a welcome step in this direction. The important thing is however the "implementation" of these Safety regulations in actual practice by Food Manufacturers. Quality Management Systems for Compliance are largely manual even in this age of Computerisation & fast penetration of Internet & other communication facilities. Companies have computerised Sales, HR, Accounts & Inventory etc but the QC guys still struggle with mountains of paperwork, handwritten forms & Inspection Reports. Why ? Because a Database Management System is not adequate to handle "tasks" done by people. QC activities involve a lot of processes like GMP, PRP, Monitoring CCP data & corrective actions etc where a team of people are involved in doing them, so how do you track human actions & also manage so much Data Entry, Records & data. The answer is i5CODEX, a web-based Integrated Food Compliance & Risk Management Software developed by Globrin Systems, UK (a Microsoft Gold Certified Software Developer) which has been helping UK Food manufacturers for past several years, to comply with BRC, HACCP, ISO 22000 & a slew of other stringent regulations, to reduce paperbased Forms, save on precious manpower time & cost on Record Management / Retrieval & improve Risk Management by automating the FMS Quality Compliance Process. i5CODEX is now in India.
