Frequently asked questions

Which food businesses need a recall plan?

FSSAI guidance indicates that food businesses engaged in manufacture, importation or wholesale supply should maintain an up-to-date recall plan, subject to stated exemptions and current requirements. Confirm applicability with qualified advice.
