It is worth mentioning that the ‘Eat Right Station’ certification is granted by FSSAI to railway stations that adhere to standard food storage and hygiene practices. This certification is awarded following an audit by an FSSAI-empanelled third-party agency, recognising stations that set benchmarks in providing safe and wholesome food to passengers.
The certification is part of the ‘Eat Right India’ movement, a large-scale effort by FSSAI to transform the country’s food system to ensure safe, healthy, and sustainable food for all Indians.
