This includes popular items like vada pav, samosas, chips, cold drinks, chocolates, and ice cream. The move aims to promote healthier eating habits among children and ensure compliance with Food Safety and Standards Regulations. School authorities and the FDA will enforce these new rules, with violators facing action under the Food Safety and Standards Act.
