Right to Keep Food Safe
In a quest to understand food safety issues, a research survey 'Conversations With Mothers' was conducted in association with Research Pacific India. The survey findings revealed that ‘one in every three mothers’ mothers surveyed were unsure about the safety and quality of food that she gives to her family. The survey also revealed that mothers are most concerned about the freshness and purity of the food they consume as well as the risk of its adulteration and hence they seek a clear need to have easy access to better information.
Such facts encouraged Tetra Pak to launch the ‘Right to Keep Food Safe’ initiative on the World Food Day' in October 2014 focused on understanding and improving the concerns & perceptions of mothers regarding nutrition, health and food safety. Aimed towards sensitizing mothers across the nation on food safety issues and to empower them with the knowledge and information to make safe food choices.
