After the Pepsi-Coke pesticide controversy there is a renewed demand for setting standards for a common food law. The problem is that the ministries of health, consumer affairs and food processing would all like to be regulatory authority for the proposed law. The health ministry's case is that the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act comes under his purview. The consumer affairs ministry's point is that the BIS and the consumer courts are its responsibility. The food processing ministry's jurisdiction is that it is responsibility for granting licences for food production.
