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. This requires two things - a nationwide law plus consistent implementation of this law in every part of the country. A uniform national law, the Food Safety and Standards Act, is now in place. 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.
