HRAWI continues FSSAI’s FoSTaC programme in 2021

The Hotel and Restaurant Association of Western India (HRAWI) in association with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has resumed conducting the Online Food Safety Supervisory Training in Advance Catering (FoSTaC) programme for the year 2021. The most recent programme was conducted on January 13 in collaboration with Parikshan as its training partner under the guidance and supervision of Dr Pashupathy of FSSAI. The training session was conducted virtually and 38 hospitality professionals from various hotel and restaurant establishments in the western region participated in it.

“The FSSAI is taking extra efforts to prioritize education on food safety and handling SOPs amongst hospitality professionals and the HRAWI wants its members to equip themselves with this knowledge. Conducting such trainings has become all the more critical during the Coronavirus pandemic. Not only will it ensure that hospitality professionals are fully aware of the nuances in food handling and safety, but it will also help in building customer confidence. This training session was conducted virtually and we were pleasantly surprised to see a good turn-up. We are glad to know that hoteliers and restaurateurs see value in the programme,” said Sherry Bhatia, president, HRAWI.

The HRAWI has successfully trained and certified over 3000 hospitality professionals across India’s Western region.
