The Brand Story
Mumbai based Conscious Food, set up in 1990, is India’s pioneering company in natural and organic food. The company sources most of its products from small organic farms and farming communities all over the country. A rigorous check is maintained on quality, and stringent standards of hygiene are enforced at every stage, from the farm to the Conscious Food workshop in Mumbai, and from there on to the retail outlets. They are recognised by ECOCERT, an inspection and certification body for organic, fair trade and good agricultural practices (GAP), as an officially certified trading house. ECOCERT operates in 80 countries of the world by providing inspection and certification services that guarantee safety for environment and mankind.
Their workshop at Parel is certified by Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) which is a systematic preventive approach to food safety that addresses physical, chemical and biological hazards as a means of prevention, rather than finished product inspection. The system is used at all stages of food production and preparation processes including packaging, distribution, etc.
The company focused on providing ’employment with dignity’ and give preference to under-privileged women for employment at our facilities at Parel, Mumbai.
