The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) will organize a special registration and training camp in Coimbatore on June 24, 2025, aimed at supporting street food vendors in complying with food safety norms. The event is designed to help vendors register with the food regulator and promote hygiene and safety practices among informal food business operators.
FSSAI urges all roadside eatery operators and street vendors to take advantage of this opportunity to formalize their businesses, gain valuable food safety knowledge, and undergo a free health screening. This initiative supports safer street food and promotes consumer confidence in local food systems.
