Quality of Mid Day Meal

Quality and Food Safety are the primary ingredients at each of the Akshaya Patra kitchens. Learning from the past, we have introduced various metrics in every area of operations and service delivery. We have also tied up with different organisations to review the quality of the mid-day meals we prepare and serve children. To maintain the quality of the meal, standardisation of recipes across all locations has been undertaken. To improve quality standards, advance projects like Kaizen and 5S have been started in different locations. Employee Health and Safety activities are conducted to further increase hygiene standards and improve safety and health.

We are adopting and implementing Kaizen, CI Projects and Six Sigma methodologies to ensure quality on all terms.
