The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India on 14th July, 2021 has extended the last date to comply with the provision related to compliance of BIS specifications for commercial feed intended for cattle under Food Safety and
Standards Act, 2006 till 1st January, 2022. The extension is provided only for the businesses whose applications for BIS certification/ licensing of their product (compounded cattle feed) are currently under process as per annexure I.
The direction dated 27th January, 2020 had once been extended to 1st July, 2021. The FSSAI has however considered several requests in account of difficulties in obtaining BIS certification/ licensing during Covid pandemic and allowed a further extension to the date for compliance for the businesses in annexure I.
