An Evaluation of the Impact of Food Safety Management Systems (Fsmss) Within the Wine Industry in Karnataka, India

During recent years the wine industry has become increasingly dynamic due to competition among wine organisations worldwide. Many Indian wine organisations have implemented and maintained a Food Safety Managements System (FSMS). The Karnataka is one of the typical state of wine-manufacturing in the country. However, the impact of FSMSs on the effectiveness of work performance among wine organisations in the Karnataka. This study investigates the effectiveness of FSMS implementation to determine whether wine organisations consolidate the fundamental requirements of the FSMSs. 17 wine organisations situated in the Karnataka who are currently implementing FSMSs were chosen as the research sites. A group of participants who are implementing FSMSs from these wine organisations were selected as samples. A questionnaire based on the scale was used as an instrument for data collection. The findings of this study indicate that the majority of the wine organisations consolidate the fundamental requirements of FSMS. Management systems, prerequisite programs, HACCP, validation and verification, emergency preparedness and quality management are used as the main activities to measure the performance of FSMS. This study recommended that wine organisations should provide regular training to internal auditors and shop floor employees in order to enhance the effectiveness of FSMSs.
