C.

Assertion (A) is true. The Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA), 2006 was passed by Parliament and received the assent of the President of India in August 2006. This Act consolidated multiple food laws into one comprehensive legislation.
Reason (R) is false. The FSS Act has always been under the administrative control of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, which oversees FSSAI. It was not transferred to the Ministry of Food Processing Industries in 2007.
Thus, the assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect. Correct answer: Option (c).
