FSSAI and Food Safety: What AnnVaya Certification Means for Your Family

When you buy food for your family, especially for babies and young children, knowing that the product meets regulatory food safety standards is essential. India FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) exists to protect consumers from unsafe or adulterated food. This article explains what FSSAI certification means and why it matters for a brand like AnnVaya.

What Is FSSAI?

FSSAI is the regulatory body under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, established by the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Every food business operator in India must obtain FSSAI registration or licence before selling food. The process involves submitting documentation about manufacturing processes, ingredients, labelling compliance, and hygiene standards.

What FSSAI Compliance Means in Practice

• Every product label accurately states its ingredients
• No prohibited additives, colours, or adulterants are used
• Manufacturing follows basic hygiene and safety standards
• Products are manufactured at a registered facility
• Claims made on packaging are permitted under FSSAI guidelines

Why Natural Claims Matter to FSSAI

FSSAI regulates what food businesses can claim. Saying a product is preservative-free or has no artificial colours when it contains these substances is a regulatory violation. AnnVaya claims of 100% natural, no preservatives, and no additives are backed by actual formulation - single-ingredient products with no additions.

How to Read a Label

Turn any food product around and read the ingredient list. For AnnVaya Tomato Powder, the only ingredient listed should be: Tomato. If you see maltodextrin, salt, artificial colour, citric acid, or any other ingredient alongside the vegetable name, the product has additions. Read labels. Always.
