The Nestlé Food Safety Institute (NFSI) will work closely with authorities to help provide the scientific foundation for food safety policies and standards.
The support will include early management of food safety issues and collaboration with local universities, research institutes and government agencies on food safety issues. It will also promote scientific communication and help run food safety training programmes.
“The inauguration underlines Nestlé’s commitment to food safety and is also another important highlight in the story of Nestlé’s successful and longstanding presence in China,” said the company’s chief technology officer Stefan Catsicas. “I am in no doubt that the work of the Nestlé Food Safety Institute will contribute to creating shared value for Nestlé shareholders and for society in China.”
The NFSI was unveiled by Nestlé CEO Paul Bulcke, Dr Chen Junshi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Swiss Ambassador Jean-Jacques De Dardel.
