The Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry has expressed concern over Food Safety and Standards (FSS) Act 2006, which was notified and had been implemented from August 5, 2011, stating that it would only end up reviving the ‘licence raj.'
At a time when States such as Tamil Nadu had removed restrictions on stock limits, licensing requirements and transportation to ensure smooth flow of essential food commodities, the Chamber said that new Act made it mandatory for all food business operators from street vendors to dealers to register and obtain licences.
