Along with the quality hygiene will also be inspected. The concerned departments have been informed and a special team will run the campaign.

What Is Bhog Certification?

The FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) had launched Bhog certification program under the ‘Eat Right India’ initiative. This program aims to improve the hygiene and sanitation standards at places of worship. The goal of the program is to ensure that the food served at places of worship is safe and hygienic for devotees and pilgrims. Under this scheme, vendors selling prasads and food items at religious places are given Bhog certificates after the inspection.
