Law :

During our iGEM experience, we had to contact lawmakers and assess what they were thinking about our project. For that, we contacted the FSSAI, the Food Safety and Standard Authority in India, and we had a quick reply from Dr. A. K. Sharma, the consultant of the FSSAI on the behalf of the Chairperson and CEO of FSSAI. He advised us to make sure we chose the right microorganisms so they can survive and work together, along with the use of critical genes for the vitamins pathways. For the law, there is currently no authorisation for GMO microorganisms in the Indian Food regulation and if we want to have our product in India, the safety needs to be established.
