The Prevention of Food Adulteration Act (PFA) was enacted in 1954 in India. This legislation was introduced to prevent the adulteration of food and ensure that food products are safe for consumption. The Act provides standards for food products, regulates the manufacture, sale, and distribution of food items, and establishes penalties for adulteration.

- The Prevention of Food Adulteration Act (PFA) of 1954 was one of the earliest attempts by the Indian government to regulate food safety and protect consumers from harmful and unsafe food. The Act created a system for setting up food standards and ensuring the quality of food available to the public.
- Over time, the PFA Act has been amended several times, and it has been largely replaced by the Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA) of 2006, which now governs food safety in India.
