Fresh juice shops are incredibly popular but can be hotspots for waterborne diseases if not managed correctly. FSSAI focuses heavily on two factors for juice vendors: the quality of the water/ice used and the cleanliness of the extraction machinery.
Most juice shops use ice to chill drinks. FSSAI mandates that you use 'Food Grade Ice' made from potable water. If you are using a local ice supplier, you must have proof that their unit is also FSSAI-licensed and their water is tested and safe.
Juice extractors and blenders accumulate pulp, which can ferment and harbor bacteria quickly. FSSAI requires that machines be dismantled and deep-cleaned at least twice a day. Using rusted or non-food-grade metal components is a major violation.
Fruits and vegetables must be washed thoroughly with clean water before juicing. FSSAI auditors check for the absence of over-ripe or rotten fruits in the storage area, which can contaminate the whole batch.
