Govt actions against food wastage

New Delhi, April 12: Now, the Modi government has taken the actions against the large scale of food wastage in the country. Already, Modi has concerned about the food wastages in India.

The government wants hotels and restaurants to mention the quantity of each serving or plate of food item in their menu - in grams or number of pieces - so that consumers can decide how many plates will be enough for them.

The Minister of Consumer affairs Ram Vilas Paswan said that, the main objective of the move is to check wastage of food. The minister had first talked about this proposal in January when he had mooted the idea that every hotel or restaurant should also introduce half plate norm.



"We will seek some suggestions and feedback from the hotel and stakeholders to find a way out. We will not make it binding on them and we don't want a law to regulate such issues. Our focus is to make consumers more aware and that will create pressure on the industry to find the solution," Paswan told media.
