He added, “As far as safety is concerned, there is zero compromise, as no industry wants to produce unsafe food. Otherwise, their food will not be sold. We know it is in their interest to produce safe food. We trust them, but we verify from time to time.” “As far as healthy food is concerned, it is more focused on consumers’ choice; there- fore, there is a lot more focus on consumer empowerment for creating a demand for healthy food. Once consumers demand healthy food, busi- nesses will start producing it,” he continued.
