What are the regulatory standards for food irradiation in India?

The regulatory standards for food irradiation in India are governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), which sets guidelines for the safe use of food irradiation. These standards ensure that food irradiation in India is applied within specified limits to eliminate pathogens, pests, and extend shelf life without compromising food safety or nutritional value. The process is subject to approval by FSSAI, with clear protocols for labeling irradiated food products to inform consumers.
