Regulatory requirements for dietary supplements under food safety and standards authority of India (FSSAI) in comparison with Cambodia

Abstract

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulates dietary supplements in India; this study looks at such regulations and compares them with those in Cambodia. Regulations regarding production, labelling, licensing, and advertising are compared and contrasted. Although both nations have set up regulatory systems, the FSSAI guidelines in India are more extensive and have more stringent licensing and labelling requirements. The laws in Cambodia, on the other hand, are more focused on post-market surveillance and are less specific. The present study underscores the necessity of achieving regulatory requirements harmonization and improvement in order to safeguard consumer safety and foster the expansion of the dietary supplement business in both nations. The results will provide insight into the regulatory environment around dietary supplements in India and Cambodia for consumers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers1.
