How is COTHM playing its role in improving food safety standards?

COTHM is improving food safety in many ways. As the leading culinary school, it is the first one to introduce mandatory food safety training and internationally recognized food safety programmes for its students. Chefs at COTHM not only know how to cook but also have an understanding of international food safety standards.

COTHM is also playing an effective role in spreading awareness about food safety in Pakistan. Gathering stakeholders of the industry at a platform and requesting them to follow the food safety standards is actually a service to humanity.
