Expressing his views on the release of the book, Mr. Joji George, Managing Director, UBM India said, "It has been our constant endeavor to engage and create awareness amongst the bakers' community, which today is one of the fastest growing unorganized sectors in India. We therefore timed the launch of this book during the two-day bakery workshop to provide a platform for this sector to connect with the larger industry."
The book has been co-authored by two luminaries, Shri. Prabodh Halde, Vice President, Association of Food Scientists & Technologists (India) Mysore and Shri. Sanjay Indani Joint Secretary Association of Food Scientists & Technologists - Mumbai Chapter.
Speaking on the soon to be released book, Shri Halde said, "Post a detailed analysis of the industry, we concluded that with the rapid growth in the fast-evolving food industry in India, Food Safety Regulations has emerged as a critical factor for business continuity and growth. With the recent change in statutory guard's viz. PFA to FSSAI, and the focus shifting to safety of food products, we considered it was an apt time to take the baton and provide our readers guidelines, which is easy to understand and draw reference from."
The book is a first-of-its-kind attempt in India to work on such sectorial regulatory requirements. Most of the information provided has been sourced from the Statutory Act and regulations, with active support from FSSA and Legal Metrology Department.
While elaborating on the book, Shri Sanjay Indani, said, "Considering that over 90% of total business is in small and medium scale sector, it is very important for trade to focus on food safety system in order to maintain food safety and quality of the Product. Hence, we found a perfect opportune to launch this book during the two-day bakery workshop, which is being organized on the sidelines of Fi & Hi India 2014."
UBM India will, as special initiatives during Fi & Hi India 2014, introduce a two-day complimentary workshop for its visitors on 'Basics to Bakery Modernization' with the support of Assocom Institute of Bakery Technology & Management (AIBTM). Conducted by AIBTM, the two-day event aims at imparting the basic knowledge on ingredients and packaging of bakery products.
