  • Currently, approximately 100 jails are certified as ‘Eat Right Campus’ by FSSAI under the Eat Right India movement.

  •  Notable jails like Tihar Prison (Delhi) and Central Jail Gaya (Bihar) participated along with prisons from Punjab and MP, with UP having the highest number of certified jails.

  • Certification involves meticulous assessment of food safety standards and promoting safe and nutritious food for inmates and staff.

  • Campuses will undergo audits to ensure compliance with hygiene, healthy food provision, and awareness efforts, addressing gaps and training food handlers through FSSAI's (FoSTaC) Food Safety Training and Certification Programme.

  • Over 2,900 workplaces are now Eat Right Campuses, enhancing well-being through access to healthy food.
