Q1. What is the qualification criteria for the in-charge of operations for the re-labeller KoB? 

Ans: As per the FSSAI order 1(5)/Enf-1/FSSAI/2012 dated 25.04.2013, the Relabeller shall nominate one officer responsible for compliance with licensing conditions across all relabeling units. Further, as Relabeller does not require a person in-charge of operations [who does not own any manufacturing unit of its own], he may nominate the person responsible for complying with the conditions of the license as the person in-charge of operations also, for the purpose of filing application for license [Form B] without any compulsion for specific qualification.
