One of the India’s greatest sectors, food processing is regarded as a ‘Sunrise Industry’ because of its enormous potential to boost the agricultural economy, build large scale facilities for the production of processed food, food supply chain, create jobs and helps in generation of revenue through export. FSSA (Food Safety and Standard Act,2006) initiates the process of bringing India’s food laws into compliances with international norms. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is created as a new national regulatory body to develop standards for food that are based on science and to control and oversee the production, processing, storage, distribution, sale and import of food in order to guarantee the accessibility of wholesome sale of food for human consumption. The paper is purely based on secondary data collected from different sources i.e., Department of Food and Public Distribution, Ministry of Food Processing Industry, FSSAI, FSSA. The purpose of this research paper is to investigate about the implementation of FSSAI rules and regulations in different states of India and action taken against them in case of violation. The paper is useful for spreading awareness among Food Industrialists about FSSAI rules and regulations and penalties.
