    Ans. (b) Sol. The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (FSSA, 2006) is the comprehensive law that governs food safety, quality, and standards in India.

    · (c) Milk and Milk Products Act, 1992: Specifically focused on regulating the dairy industry but is not an all-inclusive food law.
    · (d) Food Preparation, Storage, and Packaging Act, 2016: No such Act exists under Indian food safety regulations.
