Swiggy has come up with a new initiative called the ‘Swiggy Seal,’ a new and important step to raise food hygiene and safety standards among its restaurant partners. Starting in Pune, the program will expand to over 650 cities by November.

The ‘Swiggy Seal’ is awarded to restaurants that meet Swiggy’s strict hygiene benchmarks, based on insights from over seven million verified customer reviews. Focused on preventing contamination, ensuring safe cooking practices, and maintaining top-notch packaging quality, the Seal will appear on restaurant menu pages, letting customers know these places are serious about food safety.

To help restaurants hit these high standards, Swiggy has teamed up with FSSAI-accredited agencies, offering discounted hygiene audits and services like pest control. The platform is also running educational webinars with industry experts to train restaurant staff on food handling and best practices.

Swiggy won’t stop at awarding the Seal; they’ll keep a close eye on the hygiene practices of badge holders. If standards slip, they won’t hesitate to revoke the Seal.

This move comes on the heels of Swiggy’s recent push to deliver quick-to-prepare meals like burgers, drinks, and snacks from restaurants within a 2 km radius, keeping dining safe and speedy.
