Food Safety and Standards
 The FSSAI has framed Food Safety and Standards 
(Safe food and healthy diets for Schoolchildren) 
regulations 2019 to clamp down on consumption of 
unhealthy food by school children.
 Food business operators would not be allowed to 
advertise junk food, give free samples or even put 
banners at sports meets and vending machines inside 
schools and within 50 meters of school campuses.
Safe food and healthy diets for School children
 Taking forward its “Eat Right” campaign, the Centre 
has banned sale of pre-packaged foods which “are 
referred to as foods high in fat, salt and sugar” to 
school children in “school canteens/ mess premises/ 
hostel kitchens or within 50 metres of the school 
campus”, according to new guidelines. 
Eat Right 
 It also says that schools will no longer get 
sponsorship for events from food business operators, 
a move seen curbing incidents of food business 
operators using their logos on banners at field meets 
or as wallpapers on school computers and in school 
canteens.
 The government has also prepared guidelines for 
deciding the menu for school cafeteria and daycare 
centres. Schedule I of the regulation suggests food 
groups like milk, eggs, chicken, paneer, fish, low-fat 
or toned milk, and fortified cereals. It says that white 
breads, packaged soups and wraps should be 
discouraged.
Good Food Good Life 
Conclusion 
 In 2016, the Centre for Science and Environment 
(CSE) conducted an online survey to understand the 
food habits of school children in urban areas. 
 The results showed that 93% of children ate 
packaged food, 68% consumed packaged sugar-
sweetened beverages more than once a week, while 
53% consumed these products at least once a day.
  It also revealed that a large percentage of children 
who consumed packaged food more than twice a 
week, had them at school or bought the products
