Concerned over lapses with respect to food quality and safety standards for the meals served during flights, the food safety regulator — Food Safety and Standards Authority of India is understood to have taken the matter with airlines yet again.
Sources have told CNBC-TV18, that “unhappy with increasing number of incidents of poor-quality food and complaints which could have serious repercussions on the health and safety of people consuming the food served during flights operated by Indian companies, FSSAI has written to domestic airlines to pull up their socks.”
FSSAI’s CEO G Kamala Vardhana Rao is understood to have written twice in the last two months, to domestic airlines about lapses in food quality and safety.
