How FSMA Will Impact the Wine Industry

Feb 2, 2017

(Wines&Vines) - A lot of winery owners, winemakers and grapegrowers are concerned about changes in food-safety regulations by the federal government, and hundreds of them attended a session about the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) last week during the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in Sacramento, Calif. Tracy Genesen, vice president and general counsel at the California-based Wine Institute and moderator of the session, noted that while wine is a low-risk product for food safety, there are sections of FSMA that impact both wineries and vineyards. Consequently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has engaged with Wine Institute to work as compliance partners and to develop workshops in several California locations.
