A note from our founder

Sonia N Sawhney
Founder, VRW

Food Technologist with 25+ years in food safety
FSSAI FoSTaC & PMFME Training Partner
Senior Consultant & Lead Tutor (QMS, HACCP, FSMS, FSSC 22000, BRCGS)
Accreditation Assessor (management systems, product certification, inspection)
Visionary Women Entrepreneur of the Year 2025

"Food safety is not a certificate on the wall. It is what happens in the kitchen and on the line every single day."

For more than twenty-five years I have worked across food manufacturing, catering and retail services, first as a practitioner and then as an assessor. I understand the requirements and constraints of an industry that always looks for strong hand-holding.

With this idea, I started V R The World Professional Services to bring that experience to every food business, whether it is a small caterer applying for its first FSSAI licence or a manufacturer preparing for FSSC 22000. We do not hand over a stack of documents and leave. We stay with you through implementation, training and the audit itself.

Training is at the heart of what we do. As a training partner, our programmes are delivered by expert trainers from the field, because we believe a well-trained team is the strongest food safety control any business can have.

Clients of any consultancy expect easy access to experts, 24x7 availability, cost-effective solutions and work delivered on time. I can proudly say that V R The World offers all of these effectively and efficiently. We also focus on customised implementation of standard requirements, and on making your team self-reliant so it can maintain the system effectively afterwards.

The quality and timeliness of our work have earned the company a positive reputation and a niche in the industry.

VRW Quality Policy"Our vision is to be a growing team, committed to quality and performance. We assure our clients that customer satisfaction is our objective, excellence our strength and success our goal."

Thank you for considering VRW. I look forward to working with you.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is FoSTaC?

FoSTaC stands for Food Safety Training & Certification. It is FSSAI's programme to train food handlers and Food Safety Supervisors. Training is delivered by approved Training Partners such as VRW, and successful participants receive a FoSTaC certificate.

Does my business need a trained Food Safety Supervisor?

FSSAI requires licensed food businesses to have at least one trained and certified Food Safety Supervisor for every 25 food handlers on each premises. We can tell you which course level fits your licence and sector.

Can you train our staff at our premises?

Yes. We run on-site batches for your team as well as open batches for individuals and small businesses.

Which certification should we choose?

It depends on your products, customers and markets. Start with FSSAI compliance; many buyers then ask for HACCP or ISO 22000, while large retailers and exporters often require FSSC 22000 or BRCGS. We will recommend the right one after a short consultation.

Do you issue the certification yourselves?

No. As consultants we prepare your system and support you through the audit; the certificate itself is issued by an accredited certification body. FoSTaC certificates are issued through FSSAI's programme.
