Through this new app, food vendors, hawkers, and other unorganized eateries can apply for FSSAI licenses

Food safety regulator FSSAI has launched a mobile app called Food Safety Connect in order to ease registration for a large number of unorganised micro and small food businesses in the country, including hawkers and street vendors.
“With the launch of FSSAI’s Food Connect Mobile App, it will be easier for food businesses, particularly petty hawkers, vendors, and startups to file an application for FSSAI registration by simply using their smartphones,” FSSAI said in a statement. Applicants can access FAQs on the procedures related to licensing and registration, regulations, and other compliances for the food businesses through the app.
Also, food business operators can access resource material pertaining to a list of notified laboratories for food testing, inspection checklists, product standards, list of Food Safety Mitras, training through Food Safety Training and Certification (FoSTaC), guidance documents, etc. Food Safety Mitra is an FSSAI-certified individual professional who assists businesses in compliances related to Food Safety and Standards Act. FoSTaC is a training programme for food businesses having central or state licenses to have at least one trained and certified food safety supervisor for every 25 food-handlers (people working in a food facility with duties involving the preparation, storage or service of food) in their premises.

“They (consumers) can access knowledge hub for citizens such as informatory videos, myth busters, books and other guidance documents that are relevant for citizens to know about safe and healthy eating practices. Further, this app will be used as a mechanism for consumers to easily verify the FSSAI license or registration on any food packet. Consumers can even lodge their grievances related to any food safety matters through the app,” FSSAI said.
The new app launch has come amid the release of the Global Food Security Index 2021 by Economist Impact and Corteva Agriscience in October 2021. The index has put India on the 71st position out of 113 countries and behind Pakistan and Sri Lanka with respect to food affordability. The Index ranks countries based on metrics including quality and safety of food, affordability, availability, and natural resources and resilience. The list is topped by Ireland, Austria, and the UK.
