Frequently Asked Questions
What is food hygiene?
+Food hygiene refers to the practices and conditions necessary to ensure the safety and quality of food. It involves handling, preparing, and storing food in a way that prevents contamination and reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses.
Why is food hygiene important?
+Food hygiene is crucial for several reasons:
- Prevents Foodborne Illness: It stops the spread of harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause food poisoning.
- Legal Compliance: Businesses must comply with food safety laws (like FSSAI regulations in India) to operate legally.
- Builds Customer Trust: Good hygiene practices build a strong reputation and give customers confidence in your products.
- Reduces Waste: Proper storage and handling prevent food spoilage, saving costs.
What are food testing services?
+Food testing services involve scientific analysis of food products to determine their safety and quality. This includes testing for harmful microorganisms (like Salmonella, E. coli), chemical contaminants (like pesticides, heavy metals), nutritional content (calories, protein, vitamins), allergens, and shelf life.
Why is food testing important?
+Food testing is essential to:
- Verify Safety: Confirm that the food is free from contaminants and safe for consumption.
- Ensure Quality: Ensure the food meets specific quality standards for taste, texture, and appearance.
- Validate Labels: Confirm that nutritional labels and ingredient lists are accurate.
- Meet Regulatory Requirements: Provide documented proof of compliance with FSSAI and other international standards.
- Protect Brand Reputation: Prevent product recalls, legal issues, and damage to the brand's image.

Who conducts food hygiene and testing in India?
+In India, food testing is primarily conducted by FSSAI-notified and NABL-accredited laboratories. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is the main regulatory body. It sets the standards and authorizes these labs to perform specific tests. State food safety departments also conduct their own audits and sample collection.
What types of food testing are commonly performed in India?
+Common types include:
- Microbiological Testing: To detect bacteria, yeast, and molds.
- Chemical Testing: To find pesticides, heavy metals, toxins, and preservatives.
- Nutritional Analysis: To verify the nutritional facts label (protein, fat, carbs, vitamins).
- Allergen Testing: To detect traces of common allergens like peanuts, gluten, and dairy.
- Shelf-life Studies: To determine the product's expiry date under different conditions.
- Physical Testing: To check for foreign objects, texture, and viscosity.
