The CII Food Safety Awards serve as a benchmark for excellence in food safety across various sectors of the food industry. This year, Cargill's Kurkumbh plant in Maharashtra and Kandla plant in Gujarat were recognised in the 'Large Manufacturing Food Businesses - Fats & Oils' category.
The Kurkumbh plant, featuring state-of-the-art infrastructure, in-house testing facilities, and automated packaging lines, received an award for Outstanding Performance and Strong Commitment in Food Safety. The Kandla plant also received an accolade in the same category.
For over 35 years, Cargill has implemented robust food safety mechanisms in India, ensuring compliance through advanced infrastructure, trained personnel, and stringent quality control processes. This year's awards are a testament to the company's continued dedication to maintaining the highest standards of food safety.

He said, "We are honoured to receive these awards, which recognise our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of food safety."
The assessment process for these awards includes detailed onsite evaluations by a team of experts to ensure recognition of the best practices in food safety. The awards ceremony was attended by several notable figures, including Hashmat Ali Yatoo, Minhaj Alam, Alka Rao, and Kavery Ganguly.
Cargill is committed to providing food, ingredients, agricultural solutions, and industrial products to nourish the world in a safe, responsible, and sustainable way. The company's Continuous Improvement Production Excellence (CIPE) team is dedicated to enhancing quality management programs and processes.
The CII Food Safety Award focuses on Food Safety Maturity Assessment and recognises capacity-building efforts and the adoption of internationally benchmarked food safety practices. In 2023, Cargill received two awards for 'Significant Achievement in Food Safety' for its Kurkumbh and Davangere plants.
