Appeal procedure for imported food enables referral re testing and hierarchical review up to the Director of Imports. FSSAI's SOP for import clearance sets a two tier appeal and re testing mechanism: Technical Officers draw samples at bonded warehouses and send them to NABL accredited notified labs; importers may request the Authorised Officer to refer a second sample to a referral lab, and may further appeal the Authorised Officer's order to the Director (Imports). The Imports Division reviews such appeals in consultation with other divisions and communicates the final outcome to the Authorised Officer, with an objective to dispose of appeals within fifteen days.
