Hello Everyone, Can anyone shed some light on the applicability of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 with regards to the Food Safety and Standards (Licensing) Regulations, 2011? The said act includes provisions for repealing the Food Adulteration Act and various other food production/processing-related legislations.
Are the licensing requirements under the 2011 regulations applicable to the canteens operating in the factories?
Thanks and Regards,

In regard to your query, we can confirm that all canteens or catering units come under the purview of the Food Safety and Standards Act Rules and Regulations. More specifically, they have to register or take a license, depending on whether they are petty or large units, but they must register at least.
Hope we have shed some light on the subject.
Regards,
Rajan Nijhawan

Hi, This License should be taken by the contractor of the canteen owner or principal employer himself. Please confirm.

The food license is to be obtained by the canteen operator only in his name, not by the company where the canteen is situated.
Further, the license is to be obtained only for the place/premises where the food is prepared/cooked, etc., and not for the place where it is being served if the two places are different. Nowadays, in many companies, there is no internal kitchen; the food is prepared in a common kitchen outside by the contractor and then served at the canteen premises of the establishment. In such a case, the license is to be obtained only for the premises where the food is prepared/cooked.

(Fact Checked)-The user reply is partially correct. The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, along with the Licensing Regulations, 2011, do require licensing for canteens in factories where food is prepared. The license should cover the premises where food is cooked or prepared. It is essential to obtain the license for the specific location where food processing occurs, even if it is a shared kitchen. Therefore, the license should be in the name of the canteen operator for the premises where food preparation takes place. (1 Acknowledge point)
