Perizaad Zorabian at the launch of Right to Keep Food Safe initiative in Mumbai

Tetra Pak, a company known for its food safety and hygiene standard, recently launched its Right to Keep Food Safe initiative. As part of this, a seminar was conducted in the city for nearly 200 mothers, to equip them with information to make important decisions related to food safety and health, and become spokeswomen in their communities.
Actress Perizaad Zorabian, who took part in the seminar, said, "As a mother, I need to become more aware about good nutrition and safe food habits. I recommend every mother be a part of this initiative." Mothers were also taken through the Nutrition Quotient (NQ) website, a first-of-its-kind online programme on food safety, nutrition and packaging, developed by experts from Indian Medical Association, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Indian Dietetics Association, National Institute of Nutrition and National Dairy Research Institute. Mothers can log on to the website www.nutrition-quotient.com and test their own nutrition quotient.
Diet consultant and nutritionist Punita Mehta said, "Mothers know it's important to provide nutritious food. But rising incidences of adulteration and lack of proper understanding justify the need for access to better information. I am certain these initiatives will go a long way in doing just that."
Jaideep Gokhale (Tetra Pak South Asia Markets Communications Director) said, "Our vision is to make food safe and available everywhere for everyone, through our aseptic processing and packaging technology. As a responsible industry player, we are proud to launch the Right to Keep Food Safe initiative and NQ programme so that mothers become more aware and make safer and healthier choices for their families."
