Furthermore, this paper centralises its attention toward Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, Food Safety and Standards Regulations, 2011, voluntary product gradations, International Agreements to regulate the food standards and quality assurance. Above all of these, the earth has enough to feed the world but not the greed, so authorities should maintain and regulate the resources, its distribution and allocate the resources towards traditional agricultural methods so as to reduce the dependency on genetically modified food.
