Re: Can pharmacist apply for FSSAI exam? Eligibility criteria for it?

No. Pharmacist is not eligible.

Pharmacist failed in convincing FSSAI on necessity and importance of Pharmacy Graduates/ Postgraduates as FSO on Category 13 food: Foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses.

B Pharm / M Pharm course by virtue of its curricular content and training becomes one of the best suited qualifications for performing the duties of Food Safety Officer for the Category 13 Food Foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses. But B. Pharm/ M Pharm Graduates are excluded from the Qualification criteria Rules 2.1.3 of the Food Safety and Standard Rules 2011 for the post of Food Safety Officer under FSSAI.

https://fssai.gov.in/index.php

Category 13 Food:

13.0 Foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses

13.1 Infant formulae, follow-up formulae, and formulae for special medical purposes for infants

13.1.1 Infant formulae

13.1.2 Follow-up formulae

13.2 Complementary foods for infants and young children

13.3 Dietetic foods intended for special medical purposes (excluding products of food category 13.1)

13.4 Dietetic formulae for slimming purposes and weight reduction

13.5 Dietetic foods (e.g., supplementary foods for dietary use) excluding products of food categories 13.1 -13.4 and 13.6

13.6 Food supplements

Yes, you become eligible to apply for food or drug inspector posts after completion of your B. Pharm course. Pharma graduate student can appear for the respective govt. exams to become food or Drug inspector.

The candidate should hold a Master's degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry or Microbiology or Dairy Chemistry or Food Technology, Food and Nutrition or hold Bachelor of Technology in Dairy/Oil or hold a degree in Veterinary Sciences from a University.
