ONE NATION ONE FOOD LAW To ensure transparency, consistency and predictability of the business environment, the food regulatory ecosystem has to be based on the principle of One Nation, One Food Law.

However, despite a single nationwide Act, implementation across individual states and UTs remains fragmented and inconsistent. FSSAI has concentrated its efforts in 6 major areas: 1. Establishing globally benchmarked food product standards; 2. Consistent enforcement of the law across all States and Union Territories; 3. Facilitate hassle free food imports; 4.
