History

Historical Context

India’s Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006 created the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) under the Ministry of Health, imposing fines up to INR10 lakh on more than 1,200 eateries that year. The 2024 extortion of INR25 lakh from hotelier Jai Kishore Shah at Mumbai’s Radhakrishna Hotel mirrors those concerns, prompting police to invoke both the FSSAI framework and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
