License to be mandatory for `home made meals' too
Kottayam: As part of compulsory registration for wayside food outlets and those selling food items prepared from homes, licenses would be made mandatory for home made meals too even if the sales is through placing board or not. It would be as per the new rule in the Food Safety Act. Notice has been issued by the local food security officials . As per the government order, registration will be made mandatory by August 4. As per the new rules, food-selling outlets are classified into two sections, one where the annual sales is more than Rs 12 lakh and the second below Rs 12 lakh. With this, not only hotels, fish, meat stalls, cool drink shops, wayside shops all would come under the rule. 

The aim is to include all under the Food Safety and Standards Act. Registered food outlets should display the registration number on the cover of the food item being sold. Registration would be given only after examining the surroundings where food is prepared and examining the hygiene. Medical certificates along with registration is needed for those who prepare the food.
