Draft to amend Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restriction on Sales) Regulations, 2011 prescribing addition of Indigo Carmine or Brilliant Blue up to 10ppm in non-edible ice.

This amendment is to make it mandatory to use Indigo Carmine or Brilliant Blue up to 10ppm in production of non-edible ice, including non-edible ice blocks coming in contact with food products during preservation/storage/transportation of perishable food commodities so as to differentiate it from edible-ice which must remain colourless.
