Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) Launches QR Code-Based Registration and Monitoring System for Street Food Hygiene

Key facts

• The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has implemented a QR code-based vendor registration and monitoring system to ensure cleanliness, hygiene, and food safety standards among street food vendors.
• Under this initiative, more than 8,700 street food vendors in Ahmedabad have been successfully registered through an online process involving the scanning of a specific QR code.
• The registration process captures the Global Positioning System (GPS) location of the vendor’s place of business to record exact coordinates in the corporation’s database for effective monitoring.
• Each registered vendor receives a system-generated PDF with a unique QR code that must be displayed at their place of business for citizens to view and scan.
• Citizens can scan the displayed QR code to access vendor details and provide direct feedback or hygiene ratings, which the AMC uses to take legal action against those violating food safety rules.
