KARACHI, September 28, 2026: foodpanda has partnered with Dettol, a Reckitt brand, to strengthen hand hygiene practices across its pandamart dark store network.

The initiative aims to promote better hygiene among delivery riders handling customer orders.

As part of the programme, dedicated Dettol Handwashing Stations have been installed at pandamart fulfilment centres.

Delivery riders are encouraged to wash and sanitise their hands before collecting and handling customer orders.

Riders handle orders shortly before they reach customers. The companies said improved hand hygiene can help support safer handling practices.

The programme covers foodpanda’s pandamart fulfilment network in Karachi.

It combines foodpanda’s delivery infrastructure with Dettol’s hygiene expertise to promote handwashing among delivery partners.

Initiative Focuses on Delivery Partners and Consumers

The companies said the initiative is intended to support both delivery partners and consumers.

The programme comes during a period when seasonal illnesses and respiratory infections can increase.

However, regular handwashing remains a general hygiene measure rather than a guarantee against infection.

By introducing dedicated washing facilities at fulfilment centres, foodpanda and Dettol aim to make hand hygiene easier to practise before orders leave for delivery.

The partnership also reflects the companies’ efforts to incorporate hygiene practices into everyday delivery operations.
