Devotees who wish to donate food are required to register with the food safety department, either online or offline, before distributing food at Annadhanam centers and Mandagapadi.
In a proactive move to safeguard public health, the food safety department has mandated certain regulations for food donation. These include prohibiting the addition of preservatives to any distributed food items and maintaining the highest standards of water quality during food preparation.
A press release issued by the food safety department emphasizes that those distributing food bear the responsibility of collecting food waste and disposing of it at designated locations designated by the Madurai Corporation. To streamline the registration process, devotees can conveniently register online with the food safety department through the official website https://foscos.fssai.gov.in by paying a registration fee of Rs 100.
Furthermore, the food safety department has provided a platform for individuals to voice concerns regarding the quality of food distributed during the festival. Citizens can lodge complaints regarding food quality via WhatsApp at 9444042322. Some devotees have already started distributing water and buttermilk in the city as the summer season has begun, and the food safety department has reminded devotees to maintain food standards while serving the public.
