India: India's FSSAI Extends the Compliance Timeline for the Vegan Foods Regulations

On July 26, 2022, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare/Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) issued directive F. No. STD/SP-18/T(Vegan Foods). The directive extends the compliance timeline for Food Safety and Standards (Vegan Foods) Regulations (2022) by six months now to January 26, 2023. On June 10, 2022, the FSSAI had previously issued a notification requiring all food product imports labeled as vegan to comply with a new clause that specifies that “no vegan food products shall be imported except with a certificate issued by the recognized authorities of the exporting countries in the format as specified by the Authority is accepted.” On July 25, 2022, the FSSAI subsequently published guidelines and application formats for endorsement of the vegan logo.
