The Indian food regulatory framework is governed by which of the following?

Correct option is B

• The Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA), 2006 is the primary law governing food safety, regulation, manufacturing, storage, distribution, sale, and import of food in India.
• It consolidated multiple older food laws (like PFA Act, 1954) into a single integrated system under FSSAI to ensure uniform standards and effective enforcement.
• PFA Act, 1954 is an older law that has been repealed and replaced by FSSA, 2006.
• Essential Commodities Act, 1955 deals with price control and availability of essential items—not food safety standards.
• BIS Act, 1986 governs standardization and certification but is not the primary food regulatory law.
