FSSAI list of approved ingredients is not all encompassing as compared to global availability. This is health crippling for Indian consumer & frustrating when one realises how easily a product is accessible in abroad but in our very own country there is a void. Buck up FSSAI.

Diabetes is a great concern for 100 mn Indians and FSSAI can play a significant role in guiding the population regarding food with glycemic indices information, Nutraceuticals to keep in check borderline cases and even ingredients to benefit diabetes complications.

HADSA should be more concerned of protecting interests of mfg n marketers rather than showcasing their focus as Nutracetical specific association. Never in forefront to interact with FSSAI on delicate issues let alone resolve them in favour of industry and consumer

Dieticians are on FSSAI are panel but the regulatory are missing inputs from nutraceutical experts since most dietitians address only nutrients need in patients and consumes. Essential for FSSAI to urgently introspect and have on board qualified medicos with Nutra background.

There is an underlying movement to shift many Nutraceutical ingredients under drugs in contrast to global norms. The motive is not more effective regulating but unfathomable eagerness for control by drug regulators of even otherwise considered and defined as Nutraceuticals.

FSSAI needs to gazette the new regulations for Nutra (of which the draft is operationalised) but only after factoring in the suggestions by all stakeholders as submitted. By overturning the latter they will only harbour disrupt rather than ease of business.

Food ensures survival of self & supplements & Nutraceuticals ensure thriving of organs & tissues. One cannot be sacrificed for another. FSSAI ensures availability of all edible foods & should similarly make all consumable global supplements available. This is indeed common sense.

SC demand display of details on nutritional content on labels of food but the same already mandatory. Erring mfg n marketers should be hauled up. Same for Nutra brands including per serving size.

Department of Pharmaceuticals has openly announced stakeholder meeting w.r.t. shifting nutra under drugs. This is unimaginable how govt regulators can play with nation’s health to widen regulatory power! The very fact such topic is to be discussed gives goosebumps to Nutra mfg.

FSSAI CEO has difficult choice to make. Are Nutraceuticals akin to food like status since derived from herbs n animal sources or are these drugs - like because they help health. Such dilemma by non Dr non Nutra experienced regulator is legit but carries scary risk of consequences

No doctor in DCGI department and not even a Nutracetical avid consumer in FSSAI governance for supplements in India. No wonder a disparity in thought process of regulators and industry on a perennial basis. Central government should fix this loophole.

FSSAI must endeavour to analyse all nutritional contents breakdown in every possible food item cooked in the country no matter whatever be the cuisine. Variations could be factored for differences in ingredient quantity suiting different palates and cooking styles.

FSSAI overseas $ 0.7 tn turnover of products whilst the US FDA has responsibility for overseeing $2.7 tn food, medical & tobacco products. Yet FSSAI cribs about product quality which actually it should be controlling via stringent regulations. Tighten the reins please FSSAI.

A dream app for cooked food coming true. Imagine placing a samosa or sandwich or wafer piece below a scanner & seeing instantly the basic nutrients content! Calories, carbs, fats, proteins plus which vitamins or minerals all quantified. Indeed revealing n revelling in food world.

Food is focus No 1 followed by health for Indians. The messing & myths regarding 1st results in reminder of 2nd. Solution is change focus priority. Simple?Aah … most difficult. Look at Nos yearning for home food whilst traveling n cribbing with choicest of phrases when deprived!

The latest misinformation viraling is calcium is harmful since causes hardening of arteries!!! Stupid common people spreading such myths and many dietitians support adding to endorsing fallacies. FSSAI should intervene or the already significant fracture risk will only multiply.

The supplement market could be all set for an upheaval. The recent move to persist with drug regulators who have favoured shifting of certain categories of Nutraceuticals to under CDSCO under pretext of quality concerns and over claiming is on the anvil. 🤞consumers

Labeling norms especially to curb over claiming are in the agenda of FSSAI meeting scheduled for 13th August 25. Praying n hoping finalisation of blueprint will be in sync with global practices.
