FSSAI Directs Restaurants to Display QR Code for Safety App
Imagine you can easily report food safety problems at restaurants!
The FSSAI is making it happen.
Restaurants and other food businesses must show a special code (QR code) that you can scan with your phone.
This code takes you to the Food Safety Connect app, where you can report problems with food safety or hygiene.
Your complaint goes directly to the right people who can fix it quickly.
It helps everyone by making sure food businesses follow the rules, keeping food safe, and giving you information.
FSSAI mandates food businesses display licenses with a QR code for the Food Safety Connect App.
The QR code links to the Food Safety Connect App for consumer complaint filing.
Food outlets must display the QR code on premises, websites, and online ordering platforms.
Complaints are directed to relevant authorities for rapid resolution.
The initiative aims to safeguard public health and enhance the food safety ecosystem.
