The Ram Temple in Ayodhya is set to be recognized as an “Eat Right Place” by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) following an assessment of food safety, hygiene, and quality standards for its prasad.
The Central Consumer Protection Authority imposed a Rs 1 lakh penalty on an e-commerce platform for allowing sweets to be sold under the misleading label “Shri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad” to devotees unable to travel to Ayodhya.
Places of worship must first obtain a valid FSSAI registration or licence, undergo a third-party audit of their kitchens and food handling practices, ensure food handlers receive hygiene training, and meet standards to receive BHOG certification.
