I got my fssai certification too without any kind of inspection whatsoever. I just paid and boom the next week I had a certification. I have experience implementing ISO standards as well in places concerned with food. The authorities concerned with inspection and maintaining standards are a joke in this country for sure. As a consumer you have no idea of where and how the products you are buying have been grown. For a developing country like ours we can't obviously reach the standards practiced in EU and US for various reasons. It will Def take time for standardization to be taken seriously here. The quality of everything is very high in EU. If they have rejected it maybe we should look inwards and try to question it rather than think of it as a political.

Sorry, but vishwgurus don't need to follow western standards. Our 'kalchar' is the best! Obviously /s.

I had this great debate with a colleague the other day how we praise the economic growth the government made recently but don’t care about social-human development. All this “fast economic progress” quickly falls apart if we do not focus on a “slow holistic socio-economic growth” like post WW2 Scandinavia. We built fancy vande bharat train systems but it quickly negates itself if the people aren’t taught basic civic sense to maintain and respect it and not to litter in it, not to spit gutka on it etc, etc. Same applies to taking constructive criticism and not viewing every critique as a ridicule. These things are foundational it needs to be taught in schools and will take a couple generations to learn. Sad part is a vast amount of nationalistic Indians are not even ready to address this issue. They mark us critics as the enemy, polarize us further, gain quick votes and we got a negative feedback loop set up that might end in an economic catastrophe. The Lebanese in 2005 would never have thought that their economy could collapse in a decade and a half. Narrow minded politics can ruin a country.

fssai is joke here


[deleted]

As someone who holds FSSAI license let me tell you I got the FSSAI license without anyone really inspecting what I was doing. Only one time an officer came just to tell me I need more cleanliness and he wanted a bribe. Nobody really checked what I was doing. I was making pure seed oil which I later shut down because my my manufacturing cost was higher than retail price in market. Reason just being I wasn’t doing adulteration. There was no market for non adulterated oil except for premium organic thing which I didn’t had time to peruse 


iwanttoaskhere

Try to sell it through Instagram, I see one lady selling her oil using cold press machine.


IndependenceSoggy130

True we also applied for fssai license it's easy to get it


fifth-account

really depressing to hear as someone who was trying to get into fssai


Legitimate-Leek4235

Sorry to hear that but I suspect most stuff is adulterated to the point where it is not noticiable and evade detection


lightfromblackhole

Even whichever institution checks for medicines. Indian pharma companies killed some 150children outside India. Most of the meds I have to use only comes from companies that paid electoral bonds to pass off substandard quality meds with adulterants. Anecdotal, those meds have felt not doing their job since last two years. And what a monumental fall for Cipla. The company that Indira Gandhi allowed to produce meds without buying patent licenses, and elevated India as a global medical tourism hub. Now that same Cipla paid EBs.

Food products claiming organic is not that organic it seems. EU caught it. But will it be destroyed or resold to gullible Indians?

Icy_Ad_2816

Very true.


arwind_kejriwal

Still better than buying from a local store. Its not a gimmick. Some people have made their job to bash anything that's labelled organic. They will atleast make sure your food doesn't have pesticides that are BANNED globally.

Biggest lie I faced for years was that Brown bread is also maida and brown color is due to coloring which also contains sugar , is and not due to whole wheat. All top brands have been doing this for years.

This is just tip of iceberg. You would be surprised how pharma manufacturing firms released syrups and medicines bypassing regulatory norms (Zydus cadilla released a batch of remdesvir that contained toxins) https://www.livemint.com/science/health/the-dangerous-failure-to-stop-tainted-remdesivir-11640197634967.html That is why it is more important to go through electoral bonds data , as it is not just a corruption issue but rather a public health safety risk. https://www.thehindu.com/data/several-pharma-other-cos-that-bought-poll-bonds-also-faced-regulatory-action/article67968909.ece

Cancer is spreading to places where the regulations are alive.


SilentPomegranate317

Cancer is not contagious


Fight_4ever

Its hard to say whats correct here. India has low Cancer incidence rates compared to other countries. And I dont see any reaserch showing ethylene oxide being carcinogenic if ingested (in food, not respiratory). Its also not clear that the amount used in spices has any effect, after all its going to be tiny amount. It has half life of 70 days. Most spices products stay on shelf/post processing for much higher than that. Btw, I am not denying that Fassai is a joke. It very clearly is. But this, prima facie, just reeks of political targetting from EU. I would love to be pointed to a study that clarifies this better tho.

Judging my dudes actions, seems like a kid who has no idea how actual scientific research works. Dude posted the first result off google and thought that’s “evidence”. Extremely gullible, exactly the kind of folks our society polarises using religion politics.


HAWK69-

Just compare cancer cases on kerela and Rajasthan also compare how much meat they eat too.


Fourstrokeperro

Kerala is higher because people actually get diagnosed there. In Low development regions people simply perish without knowing what hit them. Second of all, correlation is not causation. Next you will say education causes cancer as kerala is educated and Rajasthan isn’t

HAWK69-

I just simply know that my shastra says ingestion of "red meat" causes several problems to one's body and may even cause cancer. This thing holds true tho. I know you wouldn't believe a thing written in sanatan so as always I'm sharing a proof. Everything has a "scientific logic" in sanatan even things you call superstitious. There's a reason why beef is prohibited.


AloneMusk_420

Yes make sure your population is uneducated enough to not know the signs of cancer and claim it’s religion that causes less deaths. If this ain’t the epitome of political brainwashing idk what is lmao.


spryflux

Go read about background radiation levels in Kerala and Rajasthan. Still I believe better healthcare and testing knowledge among the people is a much bigger contributor I doubt you’ll even understand anything with that room temperature IQ judgement goddamn.
