Food safety affects everyone.
From farm to table, every step matters in preventing foodborne illnesses & ensuring public health.
Food safety begins with what you scroll through. 📲
Vibrant reels from random food influencers flaunting keto smoothies or detox teas can be tempting, but most lack qualifications as diet experts or food safety officers. Their trendy advice often ignores science, risking unhealthy habits or contamination.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India ( ) cautions against unverified food fads. Raw milk trends or “natural” unpasteurized foods may carry Salmonella or E. coli. FSSAI stresses safe handling, storage below 5°C, and hygiene to prevent microbial risks. That Instagram-worthy smoothie bowl? It could be unsafe if left out too long.
As group of qualified diet experts, we advocate evidence-based nutrition. Unlike influencers, registered dietitians craft personalized plans with balanced macronutrients and micronutrients, avoiding deficiencies from extreme diets like low-carb fads. FSSAI recommends consulting professionals, not copying social media recipes.
Check FSSAI logos, nutritional labels, and expiry dates on packaged foods.
Avoid unwashed produce or undercooked meat recipes that skip hygiene.
Cross-contamination is a real threat influencers rarely mention.
Swipe past glossy reels.
Verify claims with FSSAI guidelines or a qualified dietitian.
Your health deserves science-backed choices, not trends. Choose safety and nutrition over hype, this .
