Maharashtra Schools Issue New Safety Rules for Midday Meals
Maharashtra schools are making sure kids' lunches are safe.
They're doing this by making the people who cook the food get regular check-ups to make sure they're healthy.
Also, before kids eat, an adult like a teacher will taste the food first to make sure it's okay.
These rules are meant to stop kids from getting sick from their school lunches.

The SOPs require regular medical check-ups for midday meal staff.
Prepared food must be tasted by an adult before serving.
