Explanation using Example
Imagine a local bakery that manufactures and sells a variety of pastries. One day, due to negligence in following food safety standards, the bakery uses contaminated flour, resulting in several customers experiencing food poisoning. Thankfully, none of the customers suffer serious harm.
In this scenario, under Section 59 of The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, the owner of the bakery could face legal consequences. Since the contaminated pastries were unsafe for consumption but did not result in injury, the bakery owner might be subject to:
- Imprisonment for up to six months, and/or
- A fine that could go up to one lakh rupees.
