INDIA’S CHILDREN HEALTH FOCUSSED PRECAUTIONERY PRINCIPLE BASED FOOD SAFETY LEADERSHIP ATTRACTED WORLD ATTENTION AND WORTHY OF PRAISE
Childhood lead poisoning has attracted the attention of Indian Forensic Medical Toxicologists and here below are the brilliant eye-opening example of such praiseworthy attention.
QUOTE—CHILDHOOD LEAD POISONING – A REVIEW—UNQUOTE as appeared in the J Punjab Acad Forensic Med Toxicol 2015;15(1) is a praiseworthy review-article published by Bhullar DS, Associate Professor (D)*

QUOTE—-Lead poisoning is a recognized clinical entity since the
first decade of the 20th century with acute, sub-acute and
chronic devastating consequences for the health of the children
worldwide. Recently the issue of noodles of a popular brand in
India has come under regulatory scanner after samples
collected in various parts of the country were found containing
added monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in excess of the
permissible limit. With widespread exposure from extensive
dissemination of leaded gasoline and lead based paints in the
previous century, packaged eatable products freely available in
the market are the modern threat of lead poisoning in children
emerging as the subject of discussion in the medical and
toxicology field and there is an urgent need to review the lead
related problems by the health professionals, public health
officials, food regulators and the legislators along with public
awareness about ill effects of this heavy metal poisoning on
children. ———-UNQUOTE
About 3 months back a team of high-profile FDA,USA officials visited India and made the following bright remarks(please see Quote—- Unquote– text only) about India’s vision on food safety headed by FSSAI(Food Safety and Standards Authority of India)
Food Industry, be it in india or, elsewhere in the world should look Food regulators in a positive attitude to help protect the public health and safety of the country’s citizens in question which obviously includes protecting the health and safety of the sons and daughters, mothers and fathers and relatives of all the stakeholders of the food processing industries in india and abroad because food industry is no more only local, it is global too.
Here below, I am trying to give you an idea how a food regulator(FDA,USA) has a feeling for a food regulator (FSSAI,India)which speak volumes in itself that in the present world, no food regulator can work in isolation. They need collaborative alliance to each other to upkeep food safety of utmost importance. And that is one of the main reason ,as to why every food regulator remain duty-bound to rise to the noble occasion of protective food safety in the global scenario of food processing industry where 5 ingredients can be sourced from 5 different continents and had to face 5 different (may look like apparently the same) food safety/quality checks in different challenging scenarios.
Henceforth, food regulations never get an opportunity for dilution of food regulations just merely because food industry stakeholders on and off feels panicky about food regulations destined to upkeep the public health and safety of utmost importance as like that of India and USA whose national priority is “Food Safety”.

Quote—-Although we don’t know most of the 22 official languages spoken here, we nonetheless realized after meeting with FSSAI that we “speak the same language” in terms of our food safety challenges and solutions. —-Unquote
Quote—-But the Indians are no strangers to sweeping change to improve food safety—Unquote
Quote—- Our counterparts, known as the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), are also undergoing a significant regulatory overhaul, known as the Foods Safety and Standards Act. Passed in 2006, it was the law that actually created FSSAI. At its core, the Act seeks to ensure that India’s food industry is adhering to international, science-based standards for food safety. Not unlike FSMA, this law poses many challenges in terms of how it can be successfully implemented, with both laws mandating comprehensive change, including marked increases in authority that require new resources to implement.— Unquote
Quote— The sounds and sights of Delhi and D.C. are certainly different. But with our MOU signed, we look forward to building our partnership with India, recognizing that sometimes the most fruitful relationships result when people with diverse perspectives come together to find common ground.—Unquote
