Stronger food safety enforcement by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India is leading to increased hiring in food safety, quality control and compliance roles across the food industry.

Food companies are expanding their compliance teams as they face greater scrutiny over product standards, labelling, hygiene and regulatory requirements. The increased focus has also created demand for professionals with expertise in food safety systems and regulatory compliance.

The hiring trend is being seen across food manufacturing, restaurants, packaged food businesses and other parts of the food sector. Companies are increasingly looking for skilled professionals who can help them meet regulatory standards and maintain consistent quality.

The growing emphasis on compliance is also encouraging businesses to strengthen their internal food safety processes as regulatory checks become more frequent.
