Proprietary Foods and other Regulatory Developments in India

Jasvir Singh, Regulatory, Scientific and Government Affairs Leader – South Asia, Dupont Nutrition & Health

Of late, regulatory frameworks for proprietary foods have undergone a long and arduous journey. They have been subjected to an unprecedented scrutiny by all stakeholders, mostly by regulatory authorities, for the stated purpose of ensuring food safety. On one hand the presence of proprietary foods in food chain is well established over decades and centuries of human consumption, on the other hand a well thought out risk management strategy to identify, quantify and manage the risks involved is a desired step.  This talk will take a view on journey taken so far, and look into the alignment of risk management options exercised, with the prevalent global practices in this area. 

Apart from this, talk will address other major regulatory developments going on at the moment in India.
