- The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) launched RUCO (Repurpose Used Cooking Oil) initiative to enable collection and conversion of used cooking oil to biodiesel.
- The initiative was launched nearly month after FSSAI notified standards for used cooking oil.
- According to FSSAI regulations,
- Maximum permissible limits for total polar compounds (TPC) have been set at 25%,
beyond which the cooking oil is unsafe for consumption.
- Beside this, FSSAI is also working in partnership with Biodiesel Association of India (BAI) and food industry to ensure effective compliance of used cooking oil regulations.
