Food Safety needs to be looked at as a strategic long-term investment. During the time of recession, it is the natural tendency of consumers and organisations alike to cut down their costs through downgrading themselves for cheaper and lower quality options.
When organisations and households have to make such difficult cost cutting decisions, it is imperative that their focus should be on Food Safety and associated investment remains intact. It should never come under the chopping process as, Food Safety is the right of all human beings and not a luxury that can be forgone during recession, Deputy Managing Director, EBM Saadia Naveed said. She further added that EBM is fully committed to deliver healthy and wholesome safe food products to consumers, by having a strong quality assurance system from the stage of raw material selection to the final distribution of products to retail outlets.
