A comprehensive guide to the global food safety standards like FSSAI, ISO, and HACCP required for Indian agricultural exports.
Exporting agricultural products from India requires a deep understanding of international food safety protocols. Failure to comply can lead to shipment rejections, penalties, or permanent blacklisting by importing nations.
Key Certifications Required
- FSSAI: Mandatory baseline certification for all food exporters in India.
- HACCP: Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, essential for EU and US markets.
- ISO 22000: A globally accepted food safety management system.
Standardization ensures that Indian produce such as grapes, bananas, rice, and spices meet Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) prescribed by destination countries.
