<h1>India Sets Organic Food Standards: FSSAI Requires NPOP or PGS Certification and Labeling Compliance per 2017 Regulations.</h1> The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulates organic food in the domestic market and imports. FSSAI has established standards for organic products, recognizing the National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) and the Participatory Guarantee System for India (PGS) as prerequisites for organic certification. The Food Safety and Standards (Organic Foods) Regulations, 2017, require compliance with either NPOP or PGS certification systems. Additionally, organic foods must adhere to FSSAI labeling requirements. This regulatory framework was outlined by the Minister of Commerce and Industry in a written statement to the Rajya Sabha.
