THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: All government and aided schools in the state would soon have food safety clubs. The state food safety commissioner has issued a directive to the director of public instructions (DPI) in this regard.
According to a communique from the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights here on Friday, the food safety commissioner issued the directive, following an order passed by the child rights panel in this regard.
The panel had suggested that setting up of food safety clubs, among other things, would help resolve the rising popularity of junk food among schoolchildren. The rights panel said the food safety commissioner had intimated the panel that awareness programmes would be conducted in schools and strict vigil would be kept on junk food manufacturing units and distribution centres.
