This effort aims to fortify their quality and compliance teams, protect their reputation and comply with evolving regulations.
Companies like PepsiCo, Bikanervala, DLF Hospitality, Hilton and LT Foods have recently advertised positions related to compliance audits on LinkedIn. AD Singh, managing director of Olive Group of Restaurants, emphasized the importance of complying and upholding hygiene standards, particularly for establishments with overseas investments and a solid reputation.
