CAG pulls up FSSAI over issuing licences to food business operators
20 Dec 2017 ( News Bureau )
Government auditor CAG has pulled up food regulator FSSAI for issuing licences to food business operators without complete documents.
In its report tabled in Parliament, the CAG questioned the FSSAI on the quality of testing with 65 out of 72 state labs not being NABL accredited.
The report said the FSSAI also failed to ensure that unsafe foods are not imported to the country.
The CAG said its audit found systemic inefficiencies, delays and deficiencies in the framing of various regulations and standards, amendments to regulations in violation of the Act and the specific direction of the Supreme Court.
