Under section 25 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, which of the following cannot be imported into India?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 25(1) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (formerly s.5 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954) provides that no person shall import into India (i) any unsafe or misbranded or sub-standard food or food containing extraneous matter; (ii) any article of food for the import of which a licence is required under any Act, rules or regulations, except in accordance with the conditions of the licence; and (iii) any article of food in contravention of any other provision of the Act, the rules or regulations made under it, or any other Act. "Unsafe food", "Misbranded food" and food requiring a licence imported otherwise than in accordance with its conditions are each barred, so no single option is complete on its own. Hence "All of the given options are correct".
