According to the ministry of railways, the Meals Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has given Chandigarh Railway Station a 5-star 'Eat Right Station' certification for providing 'high-quality, nutritious food to passengers.' The certificate is given when a third-party audit agency appointed by the FSSAI assesses the railway stations on a scale of 1 to 5 for standard food storage and hygiene procedures.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) provides the 'Eat Right Station' accreditation to railway stations that obtain a 5-star rating for delivering safe and healthy food to passengers. The certification is part of the 'Eat Right India' movement to transform India's food system to ensure safe, healthy and sustainable food for all Indians.

'The 5-star rating indicates exemplary efforts by stations to ensure safe and hygienic food is available to passengers,' the ministry of railways said in a release. 'Eat Right India adopts a judicious mix of regulatory, capacity building, collaborative, and empowerment approaches to ensure that our food is suitable both for the people and the planet.'

Chandigarh Railway Station became the fifth station to receive a 5-star rating from the FSSAI. The other Indian railway stations to get this certification are Anand Vihar Terminal railway station (Delhi); Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (Mumbai); Mumbai Central railway station (Mumbai); and Vadodara railway station.
