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 February 18, 2022. The training was conducted virtually by Dr V Pashupathy and was attended by hospitality professionals from various hotel and restaurant establishments.

The programme focused on standard health and food handling practices for hospitality personnel and also covered information on licencing requirements of FSSAI, for hospitality establishments in the country. Sherry Bhatia, President, HRAWI, said, “Maintaining impeccable kitchen etiquettes are paramount for any respectable establishment. Since the pandemic broke out, the programme has become even more relevant and important for a hospitality professional today. Over and above the required knowledge on food handling and hygiene, the training imparts information on Covid appropriate behaviour and covers all the necessary dos and don’ts to follow for a hospitality professional. The programme has found good participation so far and we urge all hospitality establishments to enrol their staff in this training.”
