Restaurants step up food safety; UpGrad seals Unacademy deal
Happy Wednesday! India’s food safety crackdown is forcing restaurants to clean up their kitchens and supply chains. This and more in today’s ETech Morning Dispatch.
India's tightening food safety scrutiny has prompted restaurants and food delivery platforms to enhance ingredient, supplier, hygiene, and staff training checks. Large quick-service restaurant chains and fine-dining establishments are asking suppliers to rigorously verify quality for items like paneer, buns, ketchup, patties, meat, and fresh produce.
Zomato, the nation's largest food delivery platform, has warned partners of severe consequences, including delisting, for using analogue paneer amid heightened safety concerns. Recent surprise inspections by food safety officials in Maharashtra and elsewhere, followed by actions against several major outlets, have compelled restaurants to integrate FSSAI standards into daily operations, rather than treating them as occasional inspections.
