Trust & methodology

We don't ask you to trust us — we show you our receipts.

KhaanaSuraksha.ai aggregates the same data that food safety officers use, then publishes it in plain language. No shortcuts, no brand deals, no pay-to-rank.

Where our data comes from

Six independent streams feed every score. No single stream can move a score by more than 25 points.

11 labs
NABL-accredited labs

11 partner labs across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad — all ISO/IEC 17025 accredited.

4-hr sync
FSSAI live registry

We mirror the FSSAI licence and recall registry every 4 hours. Any revocation triggers an alert on subscribed products.

42 authorities
State health departments

MCD, NDMC, BBMP, BMC, GHMC and more — we ingest restaurant inspection minutes via FOIA-equivalent RTI feeds.

2,800+ studies
Independent studies

CSE adulteration reports, ICMR papers, consumer-groups like Chakr and Mouth Shut are indexed and weighted.

2.4M scans
Community crowd-scans

2.4M verified scans feed into the live signal. Batch-level reports are moderated before display.

5 auditors
Third-party auditors

Equinox, SGS, TQ Cert, DNV and BV audit reports are loaded directly — we don't re-type them.

How the score is built

0 to 100, never a star rating.

We avoid stars because they hide the math. Every score is the weighted average of five sub-scores, each normalised to 0–100.

What we promise

Show the receipts.

Every score links to the source document, the method used, and the limit it was measured against.

Never pay-to-rank.

Brands cannot influence their score. We reject brand ads on product pages — no exceptions.

Lab-agnostic.

Scores are averaged across at least three independent labs. Any single lab carries ≤ 40% weight.

Report the limits.

We surface both Indian (FSSAI) and stricter international (EU, US FDA) thresholds so you can decide.

The people behind the score

A small, senior team of food scientists, regulators and engineers — advised by an independent ethics board.
