Why are food dyes stamped with FSSAI approval if they're prohibited?
The head of food safety has carried out inspections at various eateries in the city and has discovered several major food establishments falling short in basic cleanliness practices. These include the absence of protective gear like gloves, head covers, and aprons among the kitchen staff, as well as issues with stagnant water and exposed trash cans. Beyond cleanliness issues, the use of expired or not approved by FSSAI ingredients in cooking has been identified as a major problem. Following these inspections and the discovery of food safety code breaches, a senior chef from an India's Chefs' forum has voiced his support, saying, "It's a positive development as most chefs, with their professional training, recognize the critical need for cleanliness. We regard our kitchens as sacred places because we're essentially handling people's health." While acknowledging the inspections, he also highlighted the importance of more specific rules./p>
He expressed worries regarding food dyes, some of which carry an FSSAI certification, and their production and accessibility if they are banned for use. He mentioned that the Chefs' forum is open to discussing with the commissioner and finding extra ways to enhance food safety across the state. The commissioner has primarily concentrated on eateries rather than bigger hotels. It was noted that hotels with five or four-star ratings usually follow strict guidelines for food safety. Yet, there's no similar rating system for eateries, despite previous talks. Suggestions for a 120-point rating system for eateries by FSSAI were made but not put into action. This would be a positive development for the food industry," he said.
