No. 15 (1) 2016/School Children Regulation/Enf/FSSAI and the impact it is going to have on QSR industry as a whole. In its representation, RAI has stated that, as F&B Industry is seriously impacted due to COVID-19 pandemic, and many of the establishments big or small, are just initiating to make a come-back, the said clause of this regulation will seriously hamper the efforts as well as the economy of this sector.
