Supply of quality foodstuffs in trains
New Delhi: August 21, 2003

Railways have taken adequate measures to ensure supply of good quality food to passengers. Regular inspections and surprise checks of catering units are conducted by officers and supervisory staff to ensure that less quantity of food is not being served to the passengers and deterrent action is being taken against the defaulter.

Railways have their own infrastructure to deal with offenders under the Prevention of Food Adulteration (PFA) Act and necessary monitoring mechanisms are in place.

Inspections are being conducted at regular intervals by Commercial and Health Officials to ensure that the quality of eatables and beverages is as per the standards prescribed. Samples of food and beverages are checked regularly to ensure quality under the PFA Act.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Bandaru Dattatraya in a written reply to a question from Shri Shriniwas Patil in the Lok Sabha today.
