FSSAI- India's food regulator has set up IFSA - Save Food, Share Food, Share Joy portal with food sharing networks across India in an effort to reduce food waste and hunger. Their aim is to feed the needy and hungry with surplus food through structured systems.

Here's the link to the portal- https://sharefood.fssai.gov.in/index.html

This is indeed a great step in the right direction by FSSAI who shares common goals with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and major Food Sharing Organizations across the country.

IFSA brings together various stakeholders in a coordinated manner to prevent food being lost or wasted throughout the supply chain, from initial production down to final household consumption.

As per the below news report, 'FSSAI seeks to encourage the donation of food and grocery products to nonprofit organizations for distribution to needy individuals. These regulations will be enforced with effect from July 1, 2020.'

Doesn't that sound promising?

Let's hope that Reliance Fresh and other retailers step up their game and join the network in an effort to #FightFoodWaste and works towards #ZeroHunger.
