Nestlé India has launched Project Serve Safe Food in Nepal in partnership with the Department of Food Technology and Quality Control, Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) and National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI). Approximately 500 street food vendors will be trained under the projecton food safety and hygiene in Nepal, according to the company. “The project was first piloted in 2016 in India, where over a period of 4 years, some 20,000 street food vendors were trained across 17 locations.”
