Rajesh Kumaramenon, VP - Quality and Food Safety at Licious said: “A certificate will give you a nice, big bang but the whole point of a management system is that it needs to go on forever. At Licious, we do have a multidisciplinary FSMS team that strives to position Licious as synonymous with the best quality and the safest meat, poultry and seafood in India.

"There is no second thought for us when it comes to choosing the certification scheme which is the highest & the latest in food safety management system standards, i.e., FSSC 22K. We are the organization which faced the audit against the latest versions (4.1) of this GFSI benchmarked global standard for which one of the surveillance audit is to be unannounced in nature by mandate.

"Our journey continues, and we aim at product specific GFSI certifications in coming years and to the ultimate – LQFSMS- Licious Quality & Food Safety Management System Standard – that we envision as the world’s reference for Safe & Best quality fresh meat & meat-based gourmet products.”
