In a bid to enhance food hygiene and quality standards, Swiggy has introduced the ‘Swiggy Seal,’ a new initiative aimed at improving food preparation and packaging practices across its restaurant partners in 650 cities. This initiative, according to a PTI report, is designed to help restaurants maintain high standards of hygiene, providing consumers with more confidence in the food they order through the platform.

The program has already been launched in Pune and is set to roll out in other cities starting this November.

“Since the programme’s launch two weeks ago, restaurant partners have shown high interest, with hundreds of requests for hygiene audits already received. Should any concerns arise about a restaurant holding the Seal, Swiggy will thoroughly review the feedback and may revoke the badge if the restaurant fails to maintain the established standards,” said Swiggy.

Restaurants that meet the specified hygiene and packaging standards will receive the ‘Swiggy Seal,’ which will be prominently displayed on their menu pages within the Swiggy app. This seal will serve as a marker of quality for consumers, helping them make informed choices when ordering food.

Swiggy explained that the new initiative focuses on several key areas, including contamination prevention, optimal cooking methods, and enhanced packaging. Additionally, it provides restaurant partners with actionable insights and comprehensive support to ensure they adhere to high standards.

“The Swiggy Seal program aims to elevate restaurant hygiene practices. It offers restaurant partners comprehensive insights and actionable support to ensure the delivery of hygienic, well-cooked food in high-quality packaging,” Swiggy further added.
