Noida, October 23, 2026: The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has directed food business operators to maintain proper temperature controls, hygiene and safe handling practices while storing and transporting perishable food products, including khoa, paneer, meat and fish. The advisory aims to reduce food spoilage, prevent contamination and protect public health.


FSSAI Emphasises Temperature Control and Food Hygiene

Under the advisory, food businesses must maintain prescribed temperatures throughout the supply chain, from procurement and storage to transportation and final delivery. Vehicles used to transport perishable foods should be clean, covered and suitable for food transportation.

FSSAI has also emphasised the use of food-grade packaging, protection against dust, moisture, pests and cross-contamination, and proper maintenance of consignment records and traceability documents. Authorities may take action against non-compliant businesses, including the seizure and destruction of unsafe food products.


Why Food Businesses Must Review Their Compliance

For restaurants, dairy businesses, meat suppliers, food distributors and cold-chain operators, the advisory highlights the importance of reviewing storage facilities, transport arrangements and hygiene procedures. Businesses should ensure their staff follow applicable food safety requirements at every stage of handling and distribution.

Obtaining the appropriate FSSAI license is an important compliance step for food businesses that fall under the licensing requirements. However, holding a license alone does not replace the need to follow prescribed hygiene, storage and transportation standards.



Understanding FSSAI Registration for Food Businesses

Small food businesses that fall within the applicable eligibility criteria may require FSSAI registration, while other businesses may need a state or central license depending on their activities and the relevant regulations. Food operators should verify their category and applicable requirements through the official [FoSCoS portal](https://foscos.fssai.gov.in/).
