Wazwan, an integral part of Kashmiri culture is a very elaborate preparation of 7 to 36 dishes that are mainly made up of mutton or beef, chicken, fruits and vegetables. Preparation of wazwan does not follow any fixed Standard operating procedure nor is it done in an organized quality regulated sector. This leads to multiple scientific flaws in its preparation which need to be taken care of for making the production of same nutritious, safe and hygienic. This product has now started to reach even international markets hence it is very important to maintain its good quality so that it is safe for consumption. This paper reviews the method of production of wazwan, the flaws in its production and the risks related with same.
