Food Safety Management Standards at every stage of Procurement, Operations and Dispatch – It is our sustained effort to establish smooth and consistent work processes.

Annamrita’s Efforts Are Appreciated By The Media
We have repeatedly said how dedicated we are to our cause and how focussed we are in ensuring that children receive nutritious, healthy meals daily. We take our work very seriously, and therefore adhere to very strict and stringent safety measures in our kitchens. This continued focus has resulted in our receiving the ISO 22000 certificate for some of our kitchens.
Here is what a handful of reputed individuals and celebrities have to say about Annamrita kitchens and operations.
“The ISKCON Food Relief Foundation has done a wonderful job. Their quality is very good, their timings are very good.”– Ms. Sheila Dixit, Chief Minister, Delhi.
“Such Khichdi is not available even in our homes.”– Shri Rajendra Darda, School Education Minister, Maharashtra.
“We have had a very good experience with ISKCON Food Relief Foundation… Their kitchen in fact, looks more like a Five star hotel kitchen.”– Mr. Johny Joseph, Ex-Municipal Commissioner, Mumbai
“They (ISKCON Food Relief Foundation) provide a variety of meals each day, by which there is improvement in the physical and mental growth of these children.”- Dr. Tripta Gupta, Medical Director, B.T. Hospital, Delhi.
“I think Annamrita is doing a wonderful job in feeding the children of Aurangabad’s Municipal schools. Most of these students come from very poor homes and a hot afternoon meal acts as a great incentive for attendance. There is enough feedback from teachers, students and parents to confirm that the children love ISKCON’s food and often come to school just for the food. Along with attendance, even the students’ health is improving.”- Dr. Purushottam Bhapkar, Commissioner, Aurangabad Municipal Corporation
“Such good work is being done by ISKCON Food Relief Foundation for the children by giving Mid-Day Meal.”- Hema malini, Actress
“Today I visited the kitchen and godown of ISKCON Food Relief Foundation at Tardeo. It was a wonderful experience. It is being managed like a professional organisation with thorough detailing of each and every aspect of cooking – cleanliness, hygiene, quality. Special attention is paid to preserving the nutritional value of the food. The staff was very enthusiastic about explaining everything.”- Mr. Govind Agarwal, Fund Manager and Financial Consultant
