The College of Tourism and Hotel Management (COTHM) Pakistan has achieved another significant milestone by establishing the Centre for Food Safety & Hygiene, making it the first institution to introduce a dedicated facility of its kind focused exclusively on food safety education, hygiene standards, and professional compliance training.

The pioneering initiative reflects COTHM’s continued commitment to raising industry standards and preparing future hospitality, culinary, and food service professionals with the knowledge and practical skills required to meet international food safety requirements.

The Centre for Food Safety & Hygiene has been designed to promote awareness, training, research, and best practices in food handling, sanitation, quality assurance, risk management, and compliance with globally recognized food safety standards. Through specialized training programs, workshops, certifications, and practical learning experiences, the center aims to contribute to safer food environments across restaurants, hotels, bakeries, catering operations, and food production facilities.

Industry experts recognize food safety as one of the most critical components of hospitality and culinary operations. With increasing global attention on hygiene, consumer health, and quality assurance, the center is expected to play a vital role in developing skilled professionals capable of meeting the evolving demands of the industry.

As Pakistan’s hospitality, tourism, and food sectors continue to grow, COTHM remains at the forefront of innovation and professional education by introducing initiatives that align with international standards and industry expectations.

The establishment of the Centre for Food Safety & Hygiene further strengthens COTHM’s position as a leading institution committed to excellence, innovation, and the development of a highly skilled workforce for Pakistan and beyond.
