Hello! I am Pavithra, a Food Safety Specialist with the below accreditations:
- Certified Hygiene Rating Auditor by FSSAI
- External Lead Auditor or FSSC2000: FSMS by BSI
- FosTac Trainer of Trainers for Advance Catering, Basic Catering and Street Food Vendors by FSSAI.
My Specializations thus includes auditing and training, enabling food establishment to meet regulatory standards and guidelines in every last process involved: from setting up the kitchen to obtaining accreditation from regulatory bodies.
Motivation: According to WHO, more than 4,00,000 people die of consuming contaminated food, 600 million more fall ill every year. IDSP (Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme) of India found out that more than half of all the reported health outbreaks were related to food in 2016. Stats aside, the glaring problem at hand is the casual ignorance of imminent risks related to Food poisoning and Adulteration. With ever-increasing large scale instances of Food Poisoning, time is ripe to address the dangerous elephant in the room.
Food safety Genie deals with the issues mentioned above, covering a wide range of topics: right methods of handling raw materials which inform suppliers, storing food which informs warehouse personnel, consumption which informs the end-users. The articles explain the indicators/conditions of Food Spoilage, health hazards in the unwitting consumption of spoilt food, and solutions to overcome the risk factors of Food spoilage. Visit the page to explore! This content is also available as Podcasts.
As an aside, Less Salt More Love has unique recipes passed down to me from my grandmothers and relatives. They may be entirely new recipes or spin-off recipes inspired by popular dishes. Read to find out.
On a personal note, I love painting, DIY projects, and watching movies- which means Netflix-ing and chilling!

Cabbage Vada/Vadai
We had a half-cut cabbage stored in an airtight container for a very long time. We wanted to use the cabbage as early as possible. So, my mom and I ended up making some hot vadai’s with Chai/tea and kesari (I know, bad combination, but, why not?). This particular post I decided not to write…
Milk Peda/Doodh Peda
Doodh Peda has always been my favorite sweet ever since my childhood in Vizag. There used to be a particular shop (forgot the name!) in Vizag, where my dad used to buy a box full of these cute peda’s with flower shaped in between, almost once in every two weeks. Those days have gone by.…
