FSSAI crackdown sparks hiring surge in food safety and compliance

FSSAI crackdown sparks hiring surge in food safety and compliance New Delhi: Large packaged food companies, food startups, restaurant chains and hotels are doubling down on hiring for food safety, audit, quality control and compliance roles amid unprecedented inspections by regulatory authorities such as the Food Safety & Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration and Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA). The move is aimed at bolstering the existing quality and compliance teams as brands seek to protect their reputation, according to companies. PepsiCo, Bikanervala, DLF Hospitality, Hilton and LT Foods are among companies posting jobs related to compliance audits on professional networking platform LinkedIn in past fortnight. In its job posting for a quality capability manager, snack and beverage multinational PepsiCo wrote, "This role is expected to drive quality, food safety and regulatory competency development." "With co-manufacturing footprint increasing and new portfolios being added, there is need to build capability of operating teams with respect to quality and food services," it said. LT Foods, which produces Daawat basmati rice and Kari Kari snacks, said in its LinkedIn post that it is seeking an officer "for food safety, inspection and rejection control." The sweeping checks by F&B regulatory authorities are sparking an intense revamp of hygiene and quality across small and large makers of packaged foods and beverages, alcoholic drinks, and restaurant and cafe chains. Restaurateurs and hoteliers have circulated checklists with restaurant associations, urging members to undertake internal audits and vendor registrations. "We are adding the number of trained food safety officers in Kolkata, Mumbai and Bengaluru where the number of restaurants are more than three," said Anjan…

Man slapped by Delhi Minister once beat up Delhi civic body worker, was out on bail Man slapped by Delhi Minister once beat up Delhi civic body worker, was out on bail A road inspection in Tilak Nagar ended in a confrontation after Minister Parvesh Verma slapped Sahib Singh, an aide of MLA Jarnail Singh. The incident has revived attention on an earlier assault case in which Sahib Singh was arrested and later granted bail. Sahib Singh, the man seen being slapped by Delhi Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma during a road inspection in Tilak Nagar on Sunday, was earlier arrested in connection with a case involving the assault of a Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) sanitation worker. The earlier case was registered at Tilak Nagar police station on June 2 after MCD sanitation worker Dhan Bahadur complained that a group of men had pulled him out of a garbage collection vehicle and assaulted him. According to the FIR, Bahadur was working as a helper on a garbage collection vehicle in Ward 103 when the vehicle reached Krishnapuri at around 11 am. He told police that a girl was throwing garbage from the second floor of a house and that he asked her to stop briefly as a motorcycle was passing below. Bahadur said a young man from the house and several others followed the vehicle and forced it to stop. He said they pulled him out, assaulted him and took him two or three lanes away, where he lost consciousness.

TNPCB tells NGT Sun Pharma did not implement proposed expansion in Chengalpattu

TNPCB tells NGT Sun Pharma did not implement proposed expansion in Chengalpattu The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) has told the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.’s unit at Sathammai village in Chengalpattu district is currently operating within its existing permitted production capacity and has not undertaken the proposed expansion. The submission was made in a recent report filed before the southern bench of the NGT following an appeal filed by K.R. Selvaraj Kumar of Meenavar Nala Sangam, challenging the environmental clearance granted to the company for expansion. Consent to establish According to the TNPCB report, the unit had originally obtained the Board’s consent to establish in 2005 and consent to operate in 2006 for manufacturing pharmaceutical products with a total production capacity of 25.5 tonnes a month. Subsequent consent orders permitted changes in sewage generation, trade effluent disposal and air pollution control measures, without an increase in the permitted product quantity. The company later obtained environmental clearance from the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change on March 31, 2022, for increasing its production capacity from 25.5 tonnes per month to 134.082 tonnes per month for active pharmaceutical ingredients within the existing plant. However, the TNPCB said the company had not obtained the Board’s consent to establish or consent to operate for the expansion. A TNPCB inspection conducted on September 12, 2026, found that the unit was in operation but its production was within the existing consented capacity of 25.5 tonnes a month.
