Kolkata is synonymous with rich culinary traditions, especially its sweets and street snacks. Balancing traditional preparation methods with modern FSSAI hygiene standards is the key to business growth in the city.
The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) plays a vital role in monitoring local hygiene. FSSAI works alongside KMC to ensure that even the oldest 'Mishit' shops maintain contemporary safety standards.
Kolkata's sweet shops must follow FSSAI's specific rules for 'Best Before' dating on loose sweets and the use of approved food-grade colors in traditional delicacies.
From Park Street to the narrow lanes of North Kolkata, FSSAI's presence ensures that the city's food tourism remains safe and vibrant for visitors from across the globe.
Preserve tradition with technology. Pragati Services helps Kolkata's food businesses meet FSSAI standards while keeping their authentic flavors alive.
