Expanding the geographical footprints of project ‘Serve Safe Food’ in Goa, Nestlé India continues its collaboration with FDA, Goa, and National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI) to train over 1,000 street food vendors in North and South Goa, taking the total to over 4,000 street food vendors in the State. Project ‘Serve Safe Food’ has already benefited over 92,800 street food vendors across 26 states and four Union Territories by educating vendors on health, hygiene, safe food handling, waste disposal and entrepreneurship. The training programme equips vendors with the knowledge to improve their food handling practices. Pointing out that Goa receives a heavy influx of tourists not just from India but from across the globe, Shweta S Dessai, director, Food & Drugs Administration, Goa stated that our street food is a big part of our culture, and we understand that it is one of the most prominent elements in any tourist’s itinerary. She expressed her gratitude to the collaboration between NASVI, FDA and Nestlé India in Goa and for helping the department to achieve the objective through the project 'Serve Safe Food'.
