Use of +F logo mandatory for FBOs fortifying products as per Food Safety & Standards Regulations
New Delhi, Aug 23 (KNN) All the Food Business Operators (FBOs) engaged in manufacturing/processing and relabeling/ repacking have to mandatorily use +F logo if they are fortifying their products /commodities as per the Food Safety and Standards (Fortification of Foods) Regulations, 2016.
The Food Standard and Safety Authority of India (FSSAI) said, “All the Food Business Operators (FBOs) engaged in manufacturing/processing and relabeling/ repacking of fortified food products shall endorse their fortified food product in existing license/ registration.”
The FBO’s are required to complete the endorsement for +F logo within Food Licensing and Registration System (FLRS) by December 31, 2018, it added.
The FSSAI has said “as per the regulation, every package of fortified food shall carry the logo on the label, as specified in the schedule II of these regulations.”
To simplify the ongoing process of +F logo registration on the website of Food Fortification Resource Centre (FFRC), FSSAI has integrated an endorsement procedure within the existing FLRS, wherein FBO will be able to endorse their fortified products and obtain CDR file of +F logo.
