Restaurants in Pune give food safety ratings by FSSAI a miss

The Food Safety and Standard Authority of India's (FSSAI) initiative to accredit food establishments in Pune has found no takers, since not a single eating joint in the city has responded to the attempt. The FSSAI had handed over the accreditation process to the Quality Council of India (QCI), directing it to decide the norms and accordingly, accredit restaurants, eateries and dhabas across the country.

According to a report in The Times of India, Anil Jauhri, Director, QCI said, "We formulated the norms, as per FSSAI's instructions, to rate food establishments in the country in December last year. We decided to execute the process on a pilot basis in the western zone in various cities, including Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur. Three nodal agencies were appointed to do the job. However, no food establishment in the zone came forward to get itself rated."
