NRAI partners with FSSAI for Food Safety Supervisors’ Training Programme

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is looking to introduce a requirement of having at least one trained and certified Food Safety Supervisor in each Food Service Establishment.  This requirement at present is voluntary, but will become mandatory in the near future.  The Food Safety Supervisor will be nominated by the owner of a food business and may be the business owner, manager or an employee who is in charge of Food Safety in their organization.  The Food Safety Supervisor will have the responsibility of ensuring hygiene and food safety implementation in their respective establishments.  Food Safety Supervisor will need to undergo training and get certified by FSSAI.  Details of the same are available on the Food Safety Training & Certification (FoSTaC) portal at – https://fssai.gov.in/Fssai_E-Learning_System/ .

NRAI is a training partner with FSSAI for the training of these supervisors.  In order to train the Food Safety Supervisors, FSSAI is planning to empanel a pool of Master Trainers from the Training Partner, who would be used to train the Food Safety Supervisors across the country.  NRAI has accordingly conducted three training programmes for Master Trainers in Delhi on 02^nd May 2017, in Mumbai on 19^th June 2017 and in Bengaluru on 8^th August, 2017.  This will subsequently be repeated/conducted in other cities.
