Consider the following statements regarding the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (FSSA), its consumer protection provisions, and the regulatory framework for food business operators:

Statements

1. The Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) functions as a state-level food authority under the FSSA, 2006, empowered to enforce food safety standards and initiate action — including penalties and licence cancellation — against non-compliant food business operators.
2. Section 18(1)(a) of the FSSA, 2006, requires the appropriate authority to prescribe a uniform shelf life for all food products as a mechanism for ensuring an appropriate level of protection of human life and health.
3. Once a food business operator declares a use-by period for a product under the FSSA, 2006, the responsibility for ensuring the product's compliance with food safety and quality standards during that period shifts to the regulatory authority rather than remaining with the operator.
