Choose well-established and licensed food vendors who are more likely to follow proper food safety practices. Check for the FSSAI certification displayed at the establishment.
Packaged foods should have clear labels with ingredient lists, dates of manufacturing and expiry and FSSAI licence numbers. This information helps ensure the product meets safety standards.
When buying from street vendors or small shops, observe their food handling practices. Vendors should use clean utensils, wear gloves and maintain a hygienic environment.
Oolong tea may reduce the risk of heart disease as it helps in maintaining blood pressure and cuts down the risk of stroke.
If preparing festive meals at home, ensure thorough cooking of meats and proper reheating of leftovers to eliminate potential foodborne pathogens.
Wash hands thoroughly before handling food and encourage family members and guests to do the same.
Keep up-to-date with FSSAI alerts and advisories regarding food safety during festivals. These often contain valuable information about specific foods to be cautious of during particular celebrations.
If you encounter any suspected cases of food adulteration or unhygienic practices, report them to local FSSAI authorities or use their online complaint portal.
