Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) recently took stringent action against 111 spices manufacturers for non-compliance with safety standards. While most of the headlines in the media were dominated by the regulatory action and fines imposed, there lies a deeper narrative that reveals a complex web of challenges faced by the spices industry. The recent scandal underscores the need for more proactive and robust measures by Indian regulators. Instead of waiting for international triggers, the FSSAI and State Foods & Drugs Administration (FDAs) must enhance their surveillance mechanisms and conduct regular, unannounced inspections. Strengthening the infrastructure for testing and quality control, along with stricter penalties for non-compliance, can help in deterring malpractices. Let's delve into the underlying issues that led to this massive crackdown and explore the broader implications for consumers, small-scale farmers, and the future of the spice industry in India.

📑 ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition pointed out following things : 1️⃣ Sugar-free foods may be loaded with fats. 2️⃣ While packed fruit juices may contain only 10 per cent fruit pulp. 3️⃣ NIN said a food product can be called 'natural' if it doesn't have added colours and flavours or artificial substances and goes through minimal processing. ☝🏻This term is often used rather loosely. It is often used by manufacturers to identify one or two natural ingredients in the mix and this can be misleading. 4️⃣ NIN said that according to the FSSAI Publication regulation, any food item with even a small amount, for example, fruit juices containing only 10 or less percent of fruit added to a product is allowed to state that the product is made with real fruit pulp or juice. 🔎 But the product claiming to have real fruit may have added sugar and other additives with only 10 per cent actual fruit pulp. 5️⃣ Further, it said that people often associate sugar-free foods with lower calories and perceive these to be beneficial for diabetics and weight watchers. 🚫 "Sugar-free foods may be loaded with fats, refined cereals and even hidden sugars . These would imply high glycemic index and high calories in the food item," the NIN stated. 6️⃣ There is a general misconception that 'nutrition facts' and 'nutrition/nutrient claims' are the same. 📍Nutrition claims refers to any statement which suggests or implies that a food has particular nutritional properties. 🛑 Claims like 'low calorie', 'high fibre', 'low fat' or 'low sodium' is not complete information. These have to be substantiated by providing the actual values or nutritional facts about the product. --- 🚀 Follow Foodkida for food industry updates. ❣️ Share with your friends 📲 You will get food technology updates in this WhatsApp group https://lnkd.in/gVWJv6QR

This trend has led to the emergence of numerous nutraceutical manufacturing companies across the country, each striving to deliver high-quality products catering to diverse consumer needs. The story of nutraceutical manufacturing in India is one of innovation, quality, and market expansion. Initially, the industry faced challenges related to regulatory frameworks and consumer scepticism about the efficacy of such products. However, over time, as scientific research validated the benefits of various nutraceutical ingredients and formulations, consumer confidence began to grow. Many Indian companies seized this opportunity by investing in research and development, formulating products backed by scientific evidence, and adhering to stringent quality standards. Let's explore more on the driving factors that can take the industry to the next level. NUFFOODS Spectrum
