An FBO must stay away from hiring any person who is suffering from any infectious or contagious disease.

An FBO cannot sell any food product to any other FBO unless he also gives a guarantee, in writing in the form specified by FSSAI, about the nature and quality of the product. The bill, cash memo or invoice of the food product is to be preserved for future references. When any food product which is found to be unsafe is part of a batch,lot or consignment of food of the same class or description, then it is presumed that all the food in that batch, lot or consignment is also unsafe. Unless it is followed by a detailed assessment within a specified time, the food consignment would be considered unsafe and it is to be destroyed as per regulations.
