- To bring in transparency in food safety inspection and sampling, food regulator Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) launched a nationwide online platform named as FoSCoRIS.
- The web-based 'FoSCoRIS' system (Food Safety Compliance Through Regular Inspections and Sampling) will help verify compliance of food safety and hygiene standards by food businesses as per the government norms.
- The new system will bring together all key stakeholders -- food businesses, food safety officers (FSOs), designated officers, state food safety commissioners -- on a nation-wide IT platform and data related to inspection, sampling and test result data will be shared seamlessly by all the officials.
- The system will ease out the process of sample collection, make it transparent and traceable and controls the quality of compliances.
- This system will give a clear picture to the FSSAI on the real-time basis and helps eliminate any discrepancy, hence inspection is accountable.
- In every State a Nodal officer was appointed to integrate State Food Authority with FSSAI.
