Food companies, quick-commerce platforms face stricter FSSAI checks, higher compliance costs: Jefferies

Food companies, restaurants and quick-commerce platforms may face higher compliance costs and operational delays as the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) expands regulatory scrutiny across the food supply chain, Jefferies said in a report.

The report said the regulator’s approach is shifting beyond individual products to cover advertising claims, labelling, product authenticity, online listings, storage conditions and food safety practices.
