BRIEF HISTORY OF INDIAN FOOD LAW
1945 is the first year where questions about food quality maintenance were dealt with by international organizations and countries. Before the start of this year, no international organization had taken any action like this. A significant contribution to food quality standards came from the United States' FAO, which was formed in 1945, as well as the WHO (World Health Organization), which came into being in 1948.
India had a very diverse ecosystem because of its rich biodiversity and vast land area, making it ideal for flora and wildlife. It possessed fresh and saltwater water sources and generated meat for coastal inhabitants to enjoy and to fulfil the aim of commerce. In addition to this, the diversity of milk sources (cow, buffalo, sheep, goat, camel, and yak) and spices have called for the need to have a single legislation control all of these commodities.
