On March 29, 2022, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare/Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) issued order number Std/SP-05/Orders/FSSAI [E-1317], pertaining to the Food Safety and Standards (Food for Infant Nutrition) Regulations (2020). The new FSSAI order extends the implementation date of the regulations to October 1, 2022. The implementation timeline is being extended by the FSSAI to accommodate industry associations’ representations (i.e., written commentary and concerns). Local industry is requiring additional time to reformulate and manufacture infant food products in line with the revised standards’ levels for manganese, selenium, biotin, and iron.
