Overview
- The advisory requires all independent milk producers and milk vendors to obtain FSSAI registration or a licence before starting or continuing operations.
- Producers who are registered members of dairy cooperative societies and supply their entire output to the society are exempt from the mandate.
- State and central enforcement authorities have been told to check that producers and vendors hold valid certificates or licences and to initiate action for non‑compliance.
- Officials must conduct periodic inspections of milk chillers and storage to ensure proper temperatures and maintenance that prevent spoilage and protect public health.
- FSSAI has ordered special registration drives and reminded authorities to file fortnightly action‑taken reports under an ongoing milk enforcement program.
