The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare held a bilateral meeting with the Food and Drug Authority of Bhutan (BFDA) on the sidelines of the Global Food Regulatory Summit at India Mandapam in Delhi.
The agreement reflects the mutual commitment to enhance food safety, maintain a graded regulatory framework, simplify food import procedures and promote technical cooperation.
The agreement aims to recognise BFDA's official control over food business operators (FBOs) by FSSAI.
The objective of the agreement is to enhance technical cooperation between FSSAI and BFDA and to establish a functional mechanism to facilitate and develop trade between the two countries.
