Food wastage in India in 2022 is significantly lower than the global average of 79 kg/capita/year. Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) takes measures to prevent food wastage. J&K and Delhi are among the top performers with scores of 59.5 and 49.5. The index evaluates the performance of state on parameters including compliance, consumer empowerment, training and capacity building, food testing infrastructure and surveillance. The Ministry, however, maintains that the scores allocated to States/UTs in various SFSIs may not be compared to analyse and capture the issues and progress made by states/ UTs in the various parameters of food safety as parameters are not constant and are updated from time to time. The State Food Safety Index (SFSI) is released annually that reflects the overall performance of the states and UTs on various parameters.
