Gaurav Engineering, a trusted name in manufacturing and industrial equipment, has taken a significant step forward by obtaining the FSSAI certification. This certification marks the company’s commitment to upholding the highest standards of food safety, quality, and regulatory compliance, especially in the products and machinery it manufactures for the food industry.

What is FSSAI Certification?

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is a statutory body established under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Its primary responsibility is to regulate and supervise food safety across the country. FSSAI certification is a mandatory compliance for businesses involved in the manufacturing, processing, storage, distribution, and sale of food. It ensures that food-related businesses follow the norms and guidelines laid down by the authority to guarantee food safety and hygiene.

Why FSSAI Certification Matters for Gaurav Engineering

Though Gaurav Engineering may not directly manufacture food products, it plays a crucial role in the food processing supply chain. The company manufactures food-grade machinery, packaging systems, and industrial equipment used by food manufacturers and processors. Therefore, ensuring the equipment meets food safety norms is critical.

By obtaining FSSAI certification, Gaurav Engineering assures its clients that:

  • The machinery is safe and hygienic for food contact.
  • Manufacturing processes follow industry-best cleanliness and material standards.
  • There is strict adherence to food-grade materials such as stainless steel, which resists corrosion and contamination.
  • The design and fabrication process considers easy cleaning and maintenance to prevent microbial growth.
  • All safety protocols outlined by FSSAI are followed to support food safety at every level.

Scope of FSSAI Compliance in Engineering

For a company like Gaurav Engineering, FSSAI compliance involves:

  1. Using Food-Grade Materials: All machinery components that come in direct contact with food must be made from non-toxic, non-reactive, and food-grade materials.
  2. Hygienic Design: The equipment must be designed to avoid contamination, facilitate easy cleaning, and prevent cross-contact of allergens.
  3. Process Documentation: Detailed records of production, material sourcing, and quality checks are maintained to ensure traceability and accountability.
  4. Employee Hygiene & Training: Workers involved in manufacturing and assembling machinery must follow hygiene protocols and undergo regular training related to food safety standards.
  5. Third-Party Audits and Quality Checks: Gaurav Engineering has welcomed third-party inspections to validate its compliance with FSSAI norms, thereby enhancing trust and transparency.
