The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India vide its notification dated 29th November 2021 has ensured that the procurement of laboratory chemicals/glasswares/reagents and other consumables by State Food Testing Laboratories (SFTLs) is done only through GeM.
Therefore FSSAI has requested the vendors/suppliers to list their chemicals related to food testing and other consumables on GeM so as to facilitate purchase by State Food Testing Laboratories.
In case, if the entire catalogue of consumables is made available on GeM along with the terms and conditions, it will help the analysts to select the chemicals of the desired grade and other consumables suiting the analytical requirements.
