The Hotel and Restaurant Association of Western India (HRAWI) in collaboration with Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) conducted an online Food Safety Supervisory Training in Advance Catering (FoSTaC) programme on June 22, 2022. Conducted virtually, the session saw a participation of 55 hospitality professionals from various hotel and restaurant establishments. The programme was conducted by Vivekanand with focus on health and food handling practices for hospitality personnel.

“Prioritising education in food safety and handling SOPs amongst hospitality professionals is the need of the hour. Maintaining impeccable kitchen etiquettes is paramount for any respectable establishment. The programme has become even more relevant and important for hospitality professionals today. HRAWI is thankful to the hospitality establishments for proactively enrolling their personnel in the programme and we plan to continue organizing these programmes on an on-going basis,” says Sherry Bhatia, President, HRAWI.

In May, 69 hospitality professionals from various hotel and restaurant establishments were trained and certified under the programme. Till date, HRAWI has successfully trained and certified 2,182 hospitality professionals across India’s Western region in FoSTaC and FSSAI's Management Training Programme.
