Volume : III, Issue : X, November - 2013 Food Safety Management Systems Implementation In Small Bakery Manufacture's In India: A Case Study  Mudita Seth DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Food safety is a global concern. Several measures exist to ensure that food safety is not compromised at any stage from field to fork. These measures that prevent from any food safety hazard can broadly be categorized as food safety management systems. In certain countries, complying with food safety standards is a legal requirement. However, in developing countries like India where the concept of food safety is on a rise, the awareness about food safety management systems still lacks specially among small and medium size manufacturers. In smaller cities and towns in India, hardly food manufacturers are aware of the food safety management concept. This research paper intends to portray the current scenario of food safety and its management in Moradabad, a small city in Uttar Pradesh, India. In Moradabad, local retailers dominate the sweets, savory and bakery market. Majority of these retailers don't follow any food safety policy and are not even aware of it. Over constant exploration of the market, one retailer was identified who knew briefly about the concept of food safety and intended to implement it on one of its production site. This research is presented in a case study format to explain the current scenario of its production site and the challenges they face on daily basis to implement food safety. On visiting the site and interviewing the personnel, multiple factors were identified as the reason for poor food safety demonstration. The primary factors included poor infrastructure, lack of education amongst the staff, lack of food safety and personal hygiene understanding, no awareness of food safety management systems. During the visits, certain suggestions of how to handle these limitations were also provided to help them in improving their production site standard.
