Contact CSIR on June 2016 to inspect PET packaging.
Taking into account the expertise provided by CSIR and our component Central Institute of Food Technology (CFTRI)
A senior official at the CSIR said we were happy to take the challenge
Mysuru CFTRI is in the preface to the study report.
According to another senior official at CSIR, the findings are more relevant than individual tests and will set a food packaging quality benchmark.
