The Food Safety Mitra Scheme has been launched by FSSAI with an aim to provide support to all the small and medium food businesses in India in terms of compliance with the food safety laws. The Food Safety Mitra (FSM) Scheme will lead to improved ease of doing business by creating a transparent and organized ecosystem supporting food businesses wherein food businesses will be able to get trained service providers at fair prices - lowering the costs of compliance, thereby easing out the process of FSSAI Registration.
