Under section 35 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, the Food Authority may, by notification, require which of the following to report all occurrences of food poisoning coming to their notice?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 35 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 empowers the Food Authority to require, by notification, registered medical practitioners carrying on their profession in any local area specified in the notification to report all occurrences of food poisoning coming to their notice to such officer as may be specified. The Act places this reporting duty on medical practitioners, not on "Food Safety Officers", "District Magistrates" or "Officers in charge of police stations". Hence "Registered medical practitioners".
