Airlines have been asked to prioritise food quality and ensure transparent labelling of all food items
In response to rising concerns over the quality of food served during flights, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has taken a decisive step by issuing a comprehensive advisory to airlines. The advisory emphasises the need for airlines to prioritise food quality and ensure transparent labelling of all food items provided to passengers.
“The flight operators shall ensure that the passengers are well aware of the FSSAI license number of both the caterer/manufacturer as well as the flight operators, which are airlines. Basic details in case of prepared foods, such as the name of the caterer, FSSAI license number, date and time of packaging, and use by date and time, shall be ensured on the packaging along with the other details as applicable as per FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020,” the Authority said in its recent advisory. Also, they must inform passengers that they can lodge food-related grievances on the FSSAI’s Food Safety Connect App.
