Spot Unsafe Food? Report It with FSSAI App
FSSAI urges citizens to report unhygienic food practices through the Food Safety Connect app to help improve food safety across India.
Many people come across unhygienic food practices while eating at restaurants or ordering food online. From dirty kitchens and unsafe food handling to food adulteration and the use of staple pins in food packaging, such issues are often ignored. Most consumers simply avoid buying from the same outlet again instead of reporting the problem.
To encourage people to take action, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has asked citizens to report unsafe food practices through its Food Safety Connect mobile app under the Eat Right India campaign.
The app allows consumers to quickly report food safety violations in just a few steps. Users can click a photo of the issue, submit a complaint through the app, and help food safety officials take action. Complaints can be filed even without creating an account.
The initiative aims to improve food hygiene standards by involving the public in identifying unsafe food practices. Whether it is contaminated food, poor hygiene in restaurants, or careless handling of food by vendors, citizens can now report such violations directly to the authorities.
Apart from registering complaints, the app also helps food business operators by providing access to the Food Safety Compliance System (FoSCoS), where they can apply for food safety licences and registrations.
The Food Safety Connect app is available for both Android and iPhone users through the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
FSSAI believes that public participation is key to improving food safety standards and ensuring cleaner, safer food for everyone.
