The CII-HUL Initiative on Food Safety Sciences (CHIFSS) is collaborating with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) in a bid to promote science-based food safety approach and strengthen collaboration between industry and the government.
CHIFSS is an initiative formed by industry chamber CII and FMCG giant Hindustan Unilever Ltd, which will work closely with FSSAI, scientists, academia and key opinion influencers.
Sanjiv Mehta, CEO & MD, HUL, stressed on the need for a globally benchmarked national food safety agenda, founded on science-based food safety principles.
“We are delighted to see CHIFSS fructify into a reality. The pioneering partnership between CHIFSS and FSSAI will further strengthen industry-government collaboration to promote science based food safety which stimulates innovation while ensuring consumer safety,” he said in a statement.
Risk analysis
Pawan Agarwal, CEO, FSSAI, said the initiative will drive and disseminate food safety on science-based risk analysis in India and work toward improving food safety through fact and data based technical briefs, food safety plan guidance documents and online training programmes.
FSSAI has already been focusing on harmonisation of Indian Standards with Codex and is now looking to develop an inclusive ecosystem. An MoU has been signed between FSSAI and CHIFFS.
