Washington has sought speedy registration of certain US food imports to India as part of discussions for a landmark bilateral trade agreement, which has seen both sides pushing for greater market access to each other.
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.
