India: India's FSSAI Mandates BIS Certification Mark on Infant Nutrition Foods

On September 6, 2021, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare/Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) published the draft Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Amendment Regulations (2021) in the Gazette of India: Extraordinary (official gazette). India subsequently communicated Notification G/TBT/N/IND/212 (dated September 20) to the WTO. This is a draft amendment made to the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations (2011). The draft’s major amendment states that “no person shall manufacture, sell, store or exhibit for sale, food for infant nutrition, except under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Certification Mark, wherever BIS standards are available.”
