Question 324. Consider the following statements regarding organic foods in India:
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
- FSSAI regulates organic foods in India
- Any food to be sold as ‘organic’ in India must be certified through National Program for Organic Production (NPOP)
- ‘Jaivik Bharat’ is a logo developed by FSSAI for organic products in India
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Answer: Option A. -> (i) & (iii) only
Answer: (a)
Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulates organic foods in India. FSSAI in Nov 2017, published regulations on organic food which regulates the manufacture, sale, distribution and import of organic food in India.
As a consequence, any food to be sold as ‘organic’ in India will have to be certified under either of the two prevailing systems. The two systems are National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) and the Participatory Guarantee System for India (PGS-India).
Prior to the application of these regulations, only food products meant for export have to be certified and that too under the NPOP system. The PGS-India system is meant for the domestic market only. Drafted with an objective of addressing the problem of fraud and mislabelling in food claimed as ‘organic’, the organic regulations allow the import of organic food into India without being re-certified in India if the organic standards of the exporting country have been recognised as equivalent to NPOP.
Apart from operationalising these regulations, FSSAI has also developed a common logo for organic food from India called ‘Jaivik Bharat’ which would integrate the logos of both—the NPOP system and PGS-India.
