Kerala has topped the Food Safety Index 2022-23, replacing Tamil Nadu at the number one slot.
Tamil Nadu slipped to third position in the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI)’s 5th State Food Safety Index (SFSI), which was released by Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on the occasion of World Food Day.
This time, Punjab stood in the second position.
Among smaller states, Goa stood first for the fourth time in a row. It was followed by Manipur and Sikkim.
Among Union territories, Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi, and Chandigarh secured first, second and third ranks.
Last year, Tamil Nadu was in the top position among 20 larger states, followed by Gujarat and Maharashtra. In 2020-21, Gujarat was in top position, followed by Kerala and then Tamil Nadu in the third position.
The Food Safety Index evaluates the performance of states and union territories across different aspects of food safety.
These parameters include food safety: human resources and institutional data, compliance, food testing facility, training and capacity building, and consumer empowerment.
The index started in 2018-19 and was meant to create a competitive and positive change in the food safety ecosystem in the country.
