What is food safety testing?

What would happen if you didn’t have regular testing.

Though it may be the last process of the food manufacturing chain, food product testing is the most important step, because it helps confirm the safety of the food you are making. The main goal of conducting food safety testing is to analyse food products and determine if they are safe for consumption.

Testing supports the claim of food businesses regarding their compliance with food safety regulations and laws and that they are producing safe foods. Food safety testing procedures are the responsibilities of food manufacturers. Every food business is recommended to conduct particular food safety testing of their products and to have a food safety testing lab to achieve this.
