A Rs 20-meal can yield up to 1,000 calories; but hygiene remains big concern

The first-ever audit of street food by India’s apex food regulator has shown that it is easy to get nutrition worth a full meal from a street food serving worth just Rs 20. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) recently conducted a survey in Kolkata to determine the nutritious content of street food. It found that a street food meal of Rs 20 yielded around 1,000 calories to a consumer.
