This is the first edition of Indian Fragrances and Flavours Reference List of Ingredients which will become a standard document and reference book for the industry to follow and use.

Fafai has pointed out that as people across the world are becoming more conscious about the products they consume in the wake of the pandemic Covid-19, Fafai has taken up this step to ensure they only use ingredients that are considered safe in their products for domestic consumption as well as for exports.
