What is the difference between FSSAI and AGMARK?

Quality standards are used to certify products across industries. Licensing food goods is governed by laws such as the Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006, among others. These ensure that we consume high-quality, non-adulterated products. FSSAI and AGMARK are two of the most recent food safety standards.

Several modifications in food safety regulations resulted from the country’s changing environment, and translating them into each act took a long time, numerous resources, and a substantial amount of effort. The Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006 was the solution, bringing together all previous acts dealing with food items under one roof. This reorganisation makes it much easier for consumers to keep track of rules and ensure that the quality of food goods in the country does not deteriorate.
