It is a pleasure to note that the CII Food Safety Award program has helped raise awareness on sustainable success through benchmarks in food safety systems and provide guidance to those seeking to achieve it. Based on a process of feedback and review with stakeholders and in line with the changing market scenario, the assessment models have been duly upgraded. It is also heartening to note that the typical on-site Award program transitioned into a virtual mode under the pandemic situation since 2020 and continued to motivate organisations to challenge it.
