FSSAI – Doesn’t Control Raw Foods Supply to Factory-Retail
November02, 2017 (C) Ravinder Singh progressindia2015@gmail.com
FSSAI acknowledges on its website that 33% of food is lost between Farms and Consumption. Nutrition loss could be even 50% when food is delivered after many days of delay and store and transported in Unhygienic Conditions. We see on YouTube how Potato or other Fresh Crops are cleaned and Packaged for Long Distance transport or to nearby factory within hour of harvest.
FSSAI didn’t acknowledge it has no control over Supply of Raw Foods to Factories, Mandis, Stores and Retail. I wondered why there is no SAMPLING at Markets like Azadpur, or Cold Stores, or Street Vendors or FCI Stores etc. FSSA 2006 didn’t empower FSSAI to inspect the Unhygienic RAW FOODS Supply Chain.
Harbhajan Singh was fined and put in quarantine for carrying UNCLEAN SHOES – Food Mandis in India are Source of SUPER BUGS – stinking. If at all foods are CLEANED – it is in even more Contaminated water.
My first job was ‘Inspector Quality Control’ in 1974 and within a month took over Senior Inspector Quality – I was responsible for very thing IMPORTED in to the factory and had the authority to determine whether it meets Standards or Specifications prescribed by the ISI [BIS] or Supply Order.
As given in the Food Safety and Standards act 2006 –
Ø FSSAI Doesn’t Control Raw Foods Supply & Retail –merely regulate Factory and Food Products, their Packaging, Labeling and Sale as Foods processing levels are under 6%.
Ø CONTROL is important – Milk Sample rejected by AMUL for example is not dumped in the Gutter sold cheaply to small shop. At Mandis, Degraded foods are SORTED – for bad quality or better than bad quality.
Ø FACTORY OWNERS ARE LIABLE FOR THEIR PRODUCTS WITHIN FACTORY TO SALES.

Bikers celebrating brotherhood
20,000 bikers from all over the country will be celebrating brotherhood on 24th and 25th of November. The speakers for this year’s edition include the following:
- Freddie Spencer: Fast Freddie, as he is popularly known among motor enthusiasts is a big attraction of this year. One of the greatest and youngest world champions of the 80’s, a consecutive championship winner across two classes (250cc and 500cc), Freddie is the only man to achieve all this. His passion, natural talent and joy of riding continues to inspire riders globally.
- Leslie Porterfield: Riding since the age of 16, Leslie is today the Fastest Woman on a Motorcycle according to the Guinness Book of World Records’ title after setting the speed record in 2008 at Bonneville Speedway. With three land-speed records and a favourite of the Bonneville 200 mph club, she’s a businesswoman, mother of twins and a designer of motorcycles built for speed.
- Vinod Rawat :Founding the world’s first biker club for the specially-abled in 2010 came from Vinod’s rejection from the biker’s club – Convoy Control Club – in Mumbai. Since receiving his prosthetic limb in 1997, Rawat has been selected for MTV Roadies in 2004, raised INR 18 lakhs for rehabilitating and building homes for cloud burst victims in Leh by riding through the world’s highest motorable road and he has pedalled from Manali to Leh in 2017. He has also scaled peaks in Maharashtra and the Himalayas, as well as participated in various cycling events and marathons.
- Dhruv Dholakia:Faced with his worst nightmare of a job lost, a bitter divorce and a crippling slip-disc, Dhruv chose to cruise away from it. He bought a motorcycle, left his career and family to discover the ever eternal India. He catalogued his journey of 29 states across 16 months on a blog titled “On a Bullet Yatra”. The Indian Army awarded him a medal for his bravery to ride alone through some of the country’s most dangerous roads. The journey included rave parties in Goa, meditation in yogic ashrams, feasts on road side dhabas & solo camping in the mighty Himalayas; but it is also about motorcycle breakdowns, police interrogations, accidents & poverty – basically a narrative of self-discovery.
- Kumar Shah:When Vadodara-based Kumar Shah, 53, decided to go on an ambitious bike expedition, it was not an easy task to convince his family and friends. But his passion for motorsports made them relent. He rode off from Vadodara across Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Finland, Sweden and Germany, Netherlands, France, Belgium and finally London. The Silk Odyssey, the name of the expedition, suggests the historic Silk Route through which medieval trade took place.
- Melissa Pierson:A travel writer and essayist of non-fiction, Pierson has been a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast and this is reflected in many of her books. Her works are often explorations of personal experience, extended into general social commentary and history. She is the writer of the critically acclaimed book – “The Perfect Vehicle: What Is It About Motorcycles”.
- Ravi Verma :Inspired by a documentary on the routine life of Indian Army soldiers serving the sensitive LOC area, Verma undertook a solo ride across India to collect thank-you messages for the Indian Army; 29 states and 5 union territories covering a distance of 23,000+ kms in 100+ days. He also met members of various biking clubs from different cities and collected messages for the Indian Army.
- Dilip Muralidaran: Dilip was born with a case of Cerebral Palsy. In his mid 20’s he also discovered that he had dislocated his right hip, which is a noted condition in people with bad gait. Dilip used to ride a 2 stroke scooter and eventually a 4 stroke scooter and has put 2,50,000+ km between both these machines. His acquaintance and friendship with Shankar would lead him to drive a Honda city and eventually, a KTM. Dilip works in IT as an instructor, and regularly travels the globe for work. If he is not spending his hard earned money on duty-free shopping and camera gear, he would be caught spending it on motorcycling gear. He will be present there with his group Trichakra Riders- Shankar Jaikishan and Veeramallu M.
- Neel Jagtap :Neel is a Nasik based biker and the first biker to take Rajdoot GTS to Ladakh way to the top. He has covered 6000 kms in 23 days. Neel along with his fellow mates were to first one to complete 800 kms on a Yezdi in 16 hours last year. Also he has a group of Two –stroker bikes in which there are 500 members across India of all age group. They are on a mission to build a community with International bikers as well!
- Pooja Dabhi:She has been rapidly adding locations to her list of conquests – 3 countries i.e. Thailand, Malaysia, and Nepal; 23 States and Union Territories of India i.e. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam and Jharkhand. Dabhi is truly an inspiration for lady bikers with her grit and achievements
