Water Testing for FSSAI Licensing
- Your food business, restaurant, or eating place needs a license from FSSAI. Do you know it's very important to get a water testing report from an FSSAI-notified and NABL-accredited laboratory?
- FSSAI requires a license to sell packaged drinking water, which the Government of India and the Ministry of Health and Family Affairs control.
- According to the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) fourth Amendment Regulations, 2019, packaged drinking water must contain 20-75 mg/liter of calcium and 10-30 mg/liter of magnesium.
- we precisely follow all necessary water testing guidelines before issuing a vendor's water testing report, making it easier to obtain a license from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
- Food businesses must include a water testing report with their licensing application. This report should confirm that the water meets the potable water standard (IS 10500:2012) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
- According to a recent advertisement from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, the deadline for existing food businesses to obtain licenses is 4 February and will not be extended.
- Both existing and new food businesses need to apply to the state or central licensing authorities to obtain a license or to convert an existing one.
- Based on the type of food business, a full report or a report addressing essential criteria, such as physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters, must be submitted.
- The water testing report should be from a laboratory that is both FSSAI recognized and NABL accredited. The laboratory must conduct the sampling, and the report must include the sampling date and the identity of the person who carried out the sampling.
