Thanks to fix up the issue.
I attempted the quiz.. Scored pretty decent.
Can you throw more light on Question No. 11? I find it slightly flawed.
FSH Team says
Thanks for attempting the quiz.
Question no. 11 is about the registration criteria. A food business operator whose annual turnover is upto Rs. 12 lacs is required to obtain a registration certificate and not the license except for food businesses like Dairy units including milk chilling units equipped to handle or process & slaughtering units where annual turnover is not considered while applying for Registration certificate or license.
