FSSAI has extended the date with regard to the direction dated 27th January, 2020 regarding compliance of commercial feed intended for cattle with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) specifications.
This order was for compounded feeds for cattle (IS 2052:2009) as amended on the date of enforcement of the direction and for carrying a BIS certification mark on the product label.
As per the directions dated 27 January 2020 this was to come into force on 27 July 2020.
However, FSSAI has received representations requesting for further extension of the timeline for compliance on account of the current COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown orders/ restrictions issued by the Central/State governments.
After due considerations, the FSSAI has decided to extend the timeline for compliance of feeds/feed materials intended for meat and milk-producing animals with relevant BIS standards further to 1 January 2021.
