Jaipur: The Jaipur railway station on Tuesday got the ‘Eat Right Station’ certificate from Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). With this certification, it became the first such station in Rajasthan and north western railway.
This certification is awarded by FSSAI to those railway stations that set benchmarks in providing safe and wholesome food to passengers either through restaurants, food kiosks, fixed or moving stalls. The station has been awarded this certificate after an FSSAI-empanelled third-party audit agency gave it a rating of 5 stars. The certificate to Jaipur railway station is valid for two years till July 26, 2024. “Eat Right Station, an FSSAI initiative which was adopted by the Ministry of Railways, is a station where all the quality standard parameters are complied, in terms of hygiene, training to personnel who are serving the food to passengers and regulatory norms like pollution control. Measures like disposal of cooking oil from restaurants and other cleanliness parameters are checked as part of this initiative,” said Captain Shashi Kiran, chief public relations officer for north western railway. He said the process for the certification started around six months back.
