India is all set to launch its ‘food-o-copoeia’, a collection of safety and quality regulations for each food category. Along with the ‘food-o-copoeia’, a common digital dashboard, which will act as a unified portal on food-related regulations and norms, would also be launched at the Global Food Regulators Summit, 2023, to be hosted by the country on July 20 and 21, announced the Union Health Ministry.
Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday unveiled the logo of the summit to be held in Delhi and said that the event will provide a valuable platform for participants to deliberate on food safety and regulatory aspects.
“It will also provide an effective understanding of compliance requirements and mutual exchange of best practices, experiences and success stories on food safety norms/regulations, explore opportunities to identify collaborative work areas to establish synergies among global regulators/agencies and develop tools and techniques for information sharing,” said the Ministry in its release.
