In a positive news for Karnataka, two railway stations in the state have been awarded the 'Eat Right Station' certificate with a 5-star rating by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the Ministry of Railways said on Tuesday.

The stations to be given the certification are - the Mysuru Railway Station and the Krantiveera Sangoli Rayanna (KSR) Bengaluru Station of South Western Railway (SWRRLY).

The 'Eat Right Station' certification is awarded by the FSSAI to railway stations that fulfil all criteria to ensure safe and wholesome food is provided to passengers.

The FSSAI checks parameters such as compliance with food safety and hygiene, healthy diets, food waste management, promotion of local and seasonal food and promotion and awareness on food safety and healthy diets.

The Ministry of Railways announced that both stations have been certified as ‘Eat Right Stations’ with a 5-star rating, tweeting, “Only the best for our Passengers!
