The FPO mark is a certification mark mandatory on all processed fruit products sold in India such as packaged fruit beverages, fruit jams, squashes, pickles, dehydrated fruit products and fruit extracts.
The FPO mark guarantees that the product was manufactured in a hygienic 'food-safe' environment, thus ensuring that the product is fit for consumption.
