India is a vast country with all kinds of dietary requirements and preferences that are not often found in other countries. And yet, we’re still exposed to global standards of food safety. There’s a constant debate about how Indian sweets should be made keeping in mind the country’s tradition and culture or how they should be made keeping in mind global standards. The Indian government has taken serious efforts to keep up with the changing times and also set up some food safety norms, but does it make sense for them to compare Indian sweets with global standards?

In this edition of our Food Safety Conversation, we had Mr. Chaitanya Muppala, CEO – Almond House, Mr. Firoz H Naqvi, Founder & Director General, Federation of Sweets & Namkeen Manufacturer, and Chef Ajay Markan, Culinary Advisor & Food Critic
