Explanatory Note

(This does not form part of the notification, but is intended to indicate its general purport.)

Section 3(1)(zb) of Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 define local area as any area whether urban or rural
notified by the Commissioner of Food Safety to be a local area for the purpose of the Act. The Commissioner of Food
Safety has already notified the local area as required by the Act in the Kerala Gazette Part IV dated 22-11-2011. But as per
G. O. (Ms.)No. 24/2013/H&FWD dated 2-2-2013, 57 new post of Food Safety officers were created and also ordered to
shift the post of existing Food Inspectors in the Municipal Common Service to the Office of the Commissioner of Food
Safety. This requires re-arrangements of the existing circles.

The subordinate Legislation Committee, in the eleventh report submitted on 9th April 2013, has recommended to
appoint Food Safety Officers in each assembly constituency and to re-constitute the present jurisdiction of the Food
Safety Officers.

Grama panchayaths and / or Municipalities/Municipal wards/Municipal corporation wards (Local area) are grouped
into Circles in such a way that each legislative assembly constituency shall constitute one circle and Food Safety Officers
are to be posted in such circles. In additions to circles, there are three mobile vigilance squad functions each at
Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and Kozhikkode. One Assistance Commissioner (Intelligence) and two Food Safety
Officers are to be posted in each Mobile Vigilance Squad. The name of the Circles/Mobile Vigilance Squad and the local
area under the jurisdiction of these circles/mobile vigilance squad are as listed in the schedule.

These re-arrangements are intended to achieve the above objectives.
