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.
