We aim to take it to everyone, residents and tourists alike. I am grateful for the collaboration between National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI), Food Safety, Assam and Nestle India in Assam, which is empowering street food vendors in the State through Project ‘Serve Safe Food’ by upskilling them on food hygiene and safety.”

Taruna Saxena, head of sustainability and societal initiatives, Nestle India said, “At Nestle India, we are consistently trying to improve food safety environment 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.
