The Food Safety Standard Authority of India (FSSAI) has sent its proposal to the Union commerce ministry on expediting registration for foods to be imported from the US, said two Indian government officials aware of the development.

The fast-track route will allow US firms planning to sell meat and meat products, seafood and oil to hit the ground running to tap India's booming food market.
