Workshop on “The Deconstruction of Food Licensing"
Event Detail
We are pleased to invite you for a Workshop on “The Deconstruction of Food Licensing” being organized by the Bangalore Chamber of Industry and Commerce (BCIC), under the aegis of the Agro and Food Processing Expert Committee, jointly with Dua Associates, a Law Firm, on Friday November 16, 2018 at 4.00 pm at the CR Board Room, BCIC Office. The workshop concludes with Hi-tea.
The process of obtaining a license/ registration from the FSSAI, to commence or carry on a food business, is seemingly simple and straight forward. The obtaining of such a license/ registration has, however, proven to be a formidable task, at times, and is more often than not fraught with multiple issues. These issues largely relate to the online licensing system, and the challenges faced in relation to innovative approaches being created for conducting businesses, in India. In order to bring about awareness of the challenges faced in relation to obtaining such licenses/ registrations the BCIC, along with Dua Associates, is organizing this Workshop.
