Eat Right India
An initiative started by FSSAI has a goal to raise awareness among schoolchildren and the general public about “Eating Healthy,” “Eating Safe,” and “Eating Sustainably.”
Eating Safe: Ensuring personal and surrounding cleanliness, hygienic and sanitary practices through the food supply chain, combatting adulteration, lowering toxins and pollutants in food and limiting food hazards in processing and manufacturing operations.
Eating Healthy: supporting balanced and diverse meals; removing harmful industrial trans-fats from food; cutting back on salt, sugar, and saturated fat intake; and encouraging widespread fortification of staple foods to address shortages in micronutrients.
Eating Sustainable: Encourage the use of seasonal and local foods; keep food waste and loss at bay; save water in food supply chains; use safe, environmentally friendly packaging; and minimize the use of chemicals in food preparation and presentation.
