Save Food, Share Food, Share Joy, an initiative of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) in collaboration with major food sharing organisations across the country will be launched in Ernakulam district on November 1.
FSSAI officials and representatives of Kerala Hotel and Restaurants’ Association and Bakers’ Association of Kerala have reached an agreement to launch the programme, which will bring together people from all walks of life, food businesses, civil society organisations, corporates, government and local government bodies as well as volunteers to see that food is not wasted but shared with the less fortunate members of society.
The groups will work in close coordination to recover surplus food generated, reduce the amount of wasted food and increase the amount of safe and nutritious food made available to those in need, according to FSSAI.
