Assesment of effectiveness of food safety adoption within the wine industry in Karnataka, India

Abstract

The objective of this study is to add a valuable recommendation to the Indian wine industry to unite their performances on the execution of food safety. The importance of the food safety is to protect the consumer from any possible unsafe products produced. The results of the study were analysed by means of a descriptive analysis. The responses obtained from the questionnaire are indicated in table format and specific frequency tables were used for the ease of reference. Each aspect within a question in this study was compared with each other. Each aspect within a question was also analysed with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The study outcomes revealed that the food safety compliance was influenced on increased customer satisfaction, improved internal procedures, improved product quality, compliance with regulatory requirements, improved corporate image, improved employ morale, enhanced prospect of trading in other countries, reduced operating costs and insurance charges. Improvements can adopted as food safety training bodies should provide training to management representatives responsible for the food safety on the verification and validation of the food safety. Based on the study results, this study suggested that wine producing organisations should provide systematic regular training to core examiners and plant base employees in order to improve the efficiency of food safety.
