FSSAI Guidelines for Water Testing for Food Businesses
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) mandates strict water quality standards for all food-related operations under the 2011 regulations. It is crucial to use potable water and comply with legal requirements. Businesses required to comply include:
- Food and beverage manufacturers
- Hotels, restaurants, cloud kitchens
- Bottled water & ice producers
- Food packaging & processing units
Testing Frequency Table
The following table shows minimum recommended testing frequencies:
- Bottled Water Plants: Weekly or per batch
- Food Processing Units: Every 6 months
- Restaurants & Eateries: Twice a year
- Ice Manufacturers: Monthly
More frequent testing is recommended if the water source changes or issues are found. Water must be tested via NABL-accredited or FSSAI-notified labs, as testing from unrecognised labs is not valid for FSSAI compliance. FBOs must maintain water testing records, submit them during license applications/renewals, and take corrective actions if needed. Special note for packaged water: Packaged Drinking Water must follow IS 14543, and Packaged Natural Mineral Water must follow IS 13428, with on-site testing and frequent checks mandatory under BIS license rules.
