The RSS-affiliated Swadeshi Jagran Manch on Saturday asked the FSSAI to withdraw its draft regulations on genetically modified foods, describing the food safety regulators proposals as a prescription for a public health disaster and a recipe for increasing the risks of COVID-19 infections amid the pandemic.Raising objections to the draft regulations in a communication to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India FSSAI, the RSS body also slammed the regulator for overstepping its jurisdiction and called the proposed regulations irresponsible, saying they will only deregulate genetically engineered food items in the country if brought into effect.
