FSSAI inaugurated “Mauli” – India’s First All-Women Clean Street Food Hub in Mumbai on Sunday. The hub was formally inaugurated by Union Minister of Commerce, Piyush Goyal. The initiative launched under FSSAI’s Eat Right India movement, brings together food safety, women’s empowerment and sustainable entrepreneurship.
The hub is fully operated by women from Self-Help Groups (SHGs) who have successfully undergone FoSTaC (Food Safety Training and Certification). Equipped with training in hygiene, safety and business operations, these women are now delivering clean and high-quality street food while ensuring food safety and consumer trust.
Speaking at the inauguration, Goyal stated,“The inauguration of Mauli, India’s first all-women Clean Street Food Hub at Kandivali, marks a proud milestone under FSSAI’s Eat Right India movement. Operated entirely by SHG women, it is a shining example of women’s empowerment, food safety and community development in action.”
FSSAI also conducted a mass training session for over 200 street food vendors at the event. The training initiative will be expanded in the next phase to cover more than 10,000 vendors across the region, further strengthening food safety practices.
FSSAI plans to launch additional Clean Street Food Hubs in major cities, ensuring wider outreach and impact.
