FSSAI to expand its new food safety compliance platform across entire India from November 01

  • The food regulator FSSAI has announced to extend its Food Safety Compliance System (FoSCoS) across the entire country from November 1, 2020. 
  • Currently the system is operational only in nine States/UTs since June 2020, which are Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Gujarat, Odisha, Chandigarh, Goa, Manipur, Puducherry and Ladakh.
  • FoSCoS is a cloud-based, upgraded new food safety compliance online platform of FSSAI. It can be accessed at https://foscos.fssai.gov.in.
  • FoSCoS will provide one point stop for all engagement of a food business operator (FBO) with the department, for any regulatory compliance transaction.
  • It will replace the existing online FLRS (Food Licensing and Registration System), which is operational in all the states since 2011 for licensing and registration. (URL https://foodlicensing.fssai.gov.in)
  • FLRS has till date issued about 70 lakh licences/ registrations while over 40 lakh licensees/ registrants are actively transacting on it.
