FSSAI certifies 5 KMC schools
The Kolkata Municipal Corporation’s endeavours to provide nutritious meals to students have resulted in five of its primary schools being awarded the ‘Eat Right Schools’ certificate by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
Furthermore, plans are underway to inaugurate an automated community kitchen in Ward 58 to ensure the delivery of hygienic and nutritious food to pupils.
Confirming this development, a KMC official disclosed that five free primary schools, namely Dharmadas Trust Model Junior High School, Baishnabghata Patuli KMCP School (Day), Rafi Ahmed Kidwai KMCP School, Radha Kumud Mukherjee Road KMCP School and Baishnabghata Patuli KMCP School (Morning), have been accredited as ‘Eat Right Schools’ by the FSSAI.
The recognition is based on meticulous food sample surveys and documentation carried out by the KMC’s Food Cell.
Food safety officials are urging schools to register under the ‘Eat Right Campus’ programme to monitor compliance with hygiene and quality standards during meal preparation.
