We intend to further strengthen this culture and empower street food vendors in the state by upskilling them on food hygiene and safety. I am grateful for the collaboration between National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI), FDA and Nestlé India in Maharashtra and helping us achieve the objective through the project ‘Serve Safe Food’.”
Dr. Taruna Saxena, Head, Sustainability and societal initiatives, Nestlé India said, “At Nestlé India, we are consistently trying to improve the food safety environment in India by going beyond the quality and safety of our own products. Project Serve Safe Food empowers street food vendors by upgrading their skills through relevant training on hygiene and food safety practices. This helps to improve their awareness on around food safety and hygiene. We have been scaling up the Project and are confident that it would bring about positive behavioral change over time and contribute to the overall growth and sustainability of their businesses.”
