Food Safety and Standards Authority of India’s Post

Great news for frequent train travelers! Indian Railways, in collaboration with IRCTC, has begun a major inspection drive to ensure food quality and hygiene on long-distance trains and railway stations. A 20-member team to inspect pantry cars and vendors inside its 60 plus trains. These include prominent trains like the Rajdhani, Vande Bharat, Shatabdi and Tejas.This comes after passenger complaints regarding food quality and overcharging by vendors. The 15-day inspection, starting June 14th, focuses on onboard catering services. Their focus areas include: 1. Meal Quality and Quantity: Ensuring portions meet designated standards and food preparation adheres to hygiene protocols. 2. Vendor Compliance: Verifying that vendors comply with FSSAI guidelines and offer fair pricing. 3. Essential Services: Confirming the availability of Rail Neer bottled water and other mandated services provided by pantry car vendors and train-side vendors. This initiative aligns with Indian Railways' ongoing commitment to provide high-quality food adhering to FSSAI regulations. Here are some existing measures aimed at achieving this goal: - Upgradation of base kitchens and kitchen units. - Installation of CCTV cameras for real-time monitoring of food preparation. - Deployment of IRCTC supervisors on Rajdhani trains. - Implementation of QR codes on food packets for easy access to information. - Regular third-party audits to assess hygiene and cleanliness. - Mandatory certification from designated Food Safety Officers for catering units. This is a welcome step towards improving the travel experience for millions of Indians. Let's hope it leads to consistently high standards for food safety and service! #IndianRailways #IRCTC #FoodSafety News Source: Hindustan Times

What do you do on planes? I find inflight entertainment and laptop work is not for me. I like to read, think, write and sleep. Yesterday was a travel day and I really enjoyed two articles in this months Food in Canada magazine yesterday: - Balancing food safety and sustainability - Innovation on ice Both got me thinking about batch and lots, expiry date management and cold chain tracing. I would love to connect with people shipping cold storage items in Canada to learn more about how they are ensuring a safe and consistent customer experience. #foodandbeverage #foodincanada #coldtracing #foodsafety #sustainability #canadianbusiness
