Food Laws and Related Litigation: Awareness is the Key to Many Issues

In our country Food laws and related litigation is an emerging issue after a few incidents like Nestlé’s “Maggi” issue. Prior to this people though that it’s not a serious matter. Food laws are not new to this country but the level of awareness is very shocking. Most of us don’t know about FSSAI, AGMARK, ISI and so many other quality norms made by government. This is one of the biggest tragedies in this country and there are so many small industrialists get the advantage of such knowledge gap.

Contamination and adulteration within the popular and branded food materials could be most dangerous things in our regular life.  This is not a problem found in India but in the most of the part of world. That’s why need of strict food laws became a necessity for everybody in this world. If we discuss about the scenario in Indian food law, we can say it’s still not a serious matter of concern for common people. 

There are so many things in our life which is important for us but food is the most important thing and the base of our life. Quality of food materials is matter of debate and concern since long time. Not only laws but awareness plays a major role as far as it concern to the quality of food materials. People should understand that it’s not only the responsibility of state or central government but they do have to take social responsibility to resolve this issue. Awareness is the only one solution to resolve food quality related issues. Western countries are very sensitive in such issues like packaging and labelling services but India do have to be alert now to eliminate the discrepancy in this aspect.
