In a bid to make school premises a healthier zone for the kids, the Delhi High Court, on 15 July 2015, asked the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to draft a guideline for banning junk food in and around schools. And now, four years later, the FSSAI has finally prepared a draft for the regulations regarding the availability of only nutritious, wholesome and safe food in schools. Moreover, it also proposed the curbing of fast food advertisements within the 50-metre perimeter of the school.
Talking about the same, Pawan Agarwal, CEO of FSSAI, said that the food safety regulator has proposed to impose curbs on advertising, promotion and endorsement of unhealthy food products in school premises as well as within a 50-metre radius of school surroundings.
