About Clean Street Food Hub (CSFH)
Clean Street Food Hub (CSFH) is a hub or cluster of 50 or more vendors/shops/stalls selling popular street foods, 80 percent or more of which represents local and regional cuisines and meets the basic hygiene and sanitary requirements. It excludes fine dining.
Every state has its own famous/unique food street which showcases its local and regional cuisines and is famous locally as well as tourist attraction points. To upgrade existing food street across the country and provide safe and hygienic local eating experience, the FSSAI with the support of state government bodies has framed benchmarks for basic hygiene and sanitary requirements for upgrading the existing infrastructures of food streets across the country. FSSAI will duly recognize and certify those Food Hubs that comply with these standards and benchmarks, and such certification would help to create consumer trust.
