食品加工行业的监管负担显着增加：Teamlease Regtech创始人

The regulatory burden on the food processing sector has increased significantly over the last decade due to stronger food safety oversight, tighter packaging and labelling requirements, higher traceability expectations, environmental regulations, and greater consumer protection standards, according to Rishi Agrawal, CEO and Co-founder of Teamlease Regtech.

He told businesslin e that while the Government has attempted to simplify execution through digitisation initiatives such as FoSCoS (Food Safety Compliance System) and through labour law consolidation under the new labour codes, the overall compliance intensity and regulatory depth have continued to rise.

A report titled ‘Decoding compliance management for the food processing industry’ by Teamlease Regtech, said the sector is governed by a regulatory ecosystem that is both extensive and deeply layered. Food processing businesses operate within a multi-jurisdictional framework spanning central, state and local authorities, covering domains such as food safety, labour, environment, taxation, and corporate governance.

Compounding effect

It said that a typical mid-sized multi-state food processing enterprise is subject to more than 3,285 unique compliance obligations, which translates into a much larger number when multiple filing frequencies are considered.

In addition, businesses are required to secure more than 30 regulatory approvals across different stages of operations, each involving separate processes, documentation and regulatory interfaces.

The breadth of compliance extends across every layer of operation from sourcing and manufacturing to distribution and market facing activities, while its depth is reflected in the frequency of filings, inspections, record-keeping and reporting obligations. This creates a compounding effect as businesses scale across geographies, product lines and supply chains, significantly increasing regulatory exposure.
