Abstract: Recent global trends in food safety regulations mandate the adoption of HACCP, traceability and certification as means to minimise risk of food contamination and thereby promote food-safety. Conforming to these regulations requires enormous investments in production processes as well as in information generation and information processing. This paper discusses some issues around these regulations and their implications for India.
