Seeking <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/fssai-license\"><strong>FSSAI license<\/strong><\/a> would make it binding for the government canteens to maintain a standard of food as lack of it has often been the cause of consternation among the users of such canteens. The scenes of untidy corners, filth and lack of attention to clean the waste are replete in the industrial canteens across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the responsibility of the respective managing committees to register or obtain a license under provisions of <strong>Food Safety and Standards (Licensing &amp; Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fssai.gov.in\/cms\/food-safety-and-standards-regulations.php\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup><strong>.<\/strong> The concerned officers get in touch with FSSAI for implementing of Food Safety and Standards (FSS) Act, 2006, the Ministry recently has issued order to all central government departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According\nto the FSS Act, no person must commence or carry on any food business except\nunder the licence. Currently, registered canteens and tiffin rooms are\nfunctioning in various offices of the central government all over India.\nHowever, a direction has remained silent on government-run canteens in\neducational institutions which also operate under unhealthy conditions, putting\nthe health of thousands of students at stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Requires_an_FSSAI_Certificate\"><\/span>Who Requires an FSSAI Certificate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any of\nthe business if it is a micro, small, medium, and large scale, it is serving\nconsumable goods such as food &amp; items will require to get the FSSAI\napproval.

One of these troubles is that\nimproper nutrition and long working hours. Similarly, while a situation\nregarding long working hours and tedious labour is gradually improving,\nmalnutrition and the deficit of healthy nutrition is always by industrial\nworkers such as technicians, foremen, mechanics, and assembly line workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low\nwages are sole reason why these workers cannot focus on proper nutrition to\nsupport their bodies. Most factories and industrial units have canteens that\nare very shabby and provide barely nutritious food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FSSAI and Industrial\nCanteen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In India, the labour groups have been long since waging a campaign against this. In 2006, with a rise of FSSAI, it finally became mandatory to have industrial canteen that meet the basic health, safety standards and can assure food safety &amp; health safety of their food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industrial Canteen are often in-factory units which prepare and cook food for the workers of that unit, for factories and assembly lines, industrial canteen and their kitchen are shabby, dusty, and ill-equipped. Further, with the conditions, even the food service is barely palatable and often lacks the nutrition profile it should have. It is partly because no one cares about the welfare and development of industrial workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_the_FSSAI_Offer\"><\/span>What does the FSSAI Offer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/What-does-the-FSSAI-Offer-e1608023229558.png\" alt=\"FSSAI Offer\" class=\"wp-image-22024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/What-does-the-FSSAI-Offer-e1608023229558.png 1000w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/What-does-the-FSSAI-Offer-e1608023229558-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/What-does-the-FSSAI-Offer-e1608023229558-768x253.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FSSAI Certificate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is\nthe perfect certification for small to medium-sized businesses in the food\nindustry.
