Food Body Chief Advises Buying Food From Local Market Vendors Instead Of Online Platforms

Online food and grocery delivery platforms are widely used by people living in cities to purchase daily essentials. However, many consumers also complain of receiving expired or poor-quality products. Since products cannot be physically checked before being purchased online, FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) Chief Rajit Punhani advises that it is "always better to order food items from the store, from your local market vendor." "Go to the store and buy it; it is always better because then it's the same product you can buy. While here you'll have a photograph and the e-commerce will pick it up from the dark store," Punhani told NDTV in an exclusive interview. #FSSAI #FoodSafety #OnlineFoodDelivery #GroceryDelivery #FoodQuality #FoodSafetyIndia #RajitPunhani #OnlineShopping #LocalMarket About NDTV (English news channel): NDTV is India's Most-Trusted News Broadcaster with the latest updates in news, sports, entertainment and much more from within India and around the world.
