The Visakhapatnam Railway Station was accredited as an ‘Eat Right Station’ by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). Earlier this year, in February, an FSSAI recognised third-party panel conducted a survey on the food quality, hygiene standards, and other parameters. Visakhapatnam Railway Station was certified a 4-star rating out of 5 by the panel. The certificate is valid up to 18 May 2024.

• The station houses a total of 38 catering stalls across its 8 platforms. 
• Additionally, it also facilitates the public with a food court, a fast food centre, a Jan Aahar centre, and 15 drinking water vending units.
• ‘Eat Right India’ movement is an initiative by the FSSAI to increase the food standards in the country, thereby making the food suitable both for the people and the planet.
