The district administration of Keyi Panyor in Arunachal Pradesh has directed all food business operators (FBOs) to obtain a valid license from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and a trade license immediately, failing which strict penal action will be taken.
The directive was issued through an executive order on March 5 by deputy commissioner in charge, Likha Tejji. The order applies to all food establishments in the district, including bakeries, hotels, restaurants, resorts, and homestays.
According to the order, under Section 31(1) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, every food business operator in India must obtain a valid FSSAI license or registration before commencing operations. The administration also stressed that running any food-related business without a valid trade license from the competent authority is illegal.
Officials stated that the move aims to ensure food safety and maintain hygiene standards across the district. All food operators have been instructed to strictly follow safety guidelines during the preparation, storage, and sale of food items.
The district administration has warned that the order has come into immediate effect, and any violation of the directive will attract penalties under the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act and other applicable laws.
Authorities said the initiative is part of broader efforts to improve food safety standards and protect consumers in the district.
