India and Bhutan have strengthened their partnership on food safety by signing an agreement in March 2024. The focus of this collaboration is to align regulatory standards, simplify food import procedures, and foster technical cooperation between the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the Bhutan Food and Drug Authority (BFDA). This agreement aims to streamline trade and enhance food safety practices, ensuring the mutual recognition of Bhutanese food business operators by the FSSAI. This partnership represents a significant step forward in promoting food safety between the two nations.
