The FSSAI has issued a notice with respect to the ‘Fee Refund Policy’ for the applications under FSS (Approval for Non-specified Food and Food Ingredients) Regulations, 2017, and stated that there shall be no refund.
The notice reads, “the Authority decided that since it takes a lot of time and effort of the officers to perform initial scrutiny of the applications; fee once paid under NSF regulations shall not be refunded to the applicant in any case.”
FSSAI has notified the Food Safety and Standards (Approval for Non-specified Food and Food Ingredients) Regulations, 2017 (commonly referred to as NSF regulations) on Sept 15, 2017, for approval of non-specified food and food ingredients including novel foods.
The applicants seeking approval of non-specified food and food ingredients have to submit an application in Form-1 of these regulations along with necessary documents and fee of Rs 50,000 (Fifty thousand) plus 18% GST.
FSSAI also issued another notice dated August 31, 2022, stating that applications and requisite fee under NSF regulations shall be submitted through ePAAS (electronic Product and Claim Approval Application System) only, and, applications submitted via email or post shall be summarily rejected with effect from October 1, 2022.
