Food safety guidance for summer is reminding households to manage fridge storage more carefully.
Food safety becomes more important during hot Indian summers, when poor storage can increase the risk of contamination and illness.
FSSAI's summer advice highlights simple but important habits: keep refrigerators cold, separate raw meat and seafood, store eggs safely, avoid cross-contamination and clean fridges regularly.
"India's story in 2026 is no longer about catching up — it's about defining what comes next."
For households, these tips are not complicated, but they can make a major difference. Summer food safety starts with small daily habits.
Doctors also recommend extra care with leftovers, suggesting they should ideally be refrigerated within two hours of cooking.
