The CBIC issued an instruction recognizing the National Food & Feed Reference Laboratory (NFFRL) in Kathmandu, Nepal, following an MoU between FSSAI and Nepal's Department of Food Technology and Quality Control. The recognition permits NFFRL to issue analysis certificates for specific food products including juices, jams, jellies, pickles, candies, ginger, fresh produce, and instant noodles. These certificates will be accepted by Indian authorities dealing with food imports, valid until the laboratory obtains ISO/IEC17025 accreditation from NABL. Customs and relevant authorities are instructed to implement this recognition and facilitate smooth food import processes.
