Why FoSTaC is Mandatory

Under the Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, every Food Business Operator must ensure that at least one food safety supervisor per 25 food handlers holds a valid FoSTaC certificate for the relevant food category. FSSAI inspectors verify supervisor certification during routine inspections — non-compliance can result in improvement notices, penalties, or licence suspension.
