This day serves as a reminder that food safety is everyone’s business, from farm to table. On this occasion, we acknowledge and recognize the critical role of food safety in safeguarding public health and well-being. TUV India, a trusted name in certification services, plays a pivotal role in ensuring safe food practices across the globe. Let’s dive into how TUV India contributes to food safety:
