Kerala has topped in the national food safety index of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
Health Minister Veena George, in a statement here, claimed that the ranking secured by the State was in recognition of the streamlined and consistent activities of the State in the area of food safety.
Vijayan said that the “historic achievement” by the state was thanks to the various initiatives such as the food safety gram panchayat scheme implemented in 140 panchayats and the Safe and Nutritious Food at School project carried out in 500 schools.
