Varanasi Cantonment Railway Station Wins 5-Star ‘Eat Right Station’ Award
The certification granted by FSSAI to Varanasi Cantonment Railway Station.
Varanasi Cantonment Railway Station has been awarded a 5-Star 'Eat Right Station' certification for providing high-quality, nutritious food to passengers.
The certification is granted by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to railway stations adhering to standard food storage and hygiene practices. The 5-Star rating indicates full compliance by the station to ensure safe and hygienic food is available to passengers.
FSSAI is a statutory body established under the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The FSSAI has been established under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, which is a consolidating statute related to food safety and regulation in India.
The 'Eat Right Station' certification is awarded by FSSAI to railway stations that set benchmarks in providing safe and wholesome food to passengers. The station is awarded a certificate upon a conclusion of an FSSAI-empanelled third-party audit agency with ratings from 1 to 5.
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.
Eat Right India adopts a judicious mix of regulatory, capacity building, collaborative, and empowerment approaches to ensure that our food is suitable both for the people and the planet.
The other railway stations with star certification include Anand Vihar Terminal Railway Station (Delhi); Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Mumbai); Mumbai Central Railway Station, (Mumbai); Vadodara Railway Station, Chandigarh Railway Station and Bhopal Railway Station.
