IRCTC launches digital audits to ensure food safety and hygiene on trains and stations

The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has announced a digital audit initiative aimed at strengthening food safety and hygiene standards across trains and railway stations. The move represents an effort to modernize quality control processes within the railway catering system.

The digital audit framework will enable real-time monitoring of food preparation, storage, and serving practices at catering units and station facilities. This technological approach is intended to ensure consistent adherence to food safety protocols and hygiene standards across the network.

The initiative aligns with broader efforts to improve passenger amenities and address longstanding concerns regarding food quality in railway catering. By implementing systematic digital checks, IRCTC aims to enhance transparency and accountability in its food service operations.
