Food Testing
Food testing is the process of analyzing food products to ensure they are safe for consumption and meet quality standards. This can involve checking for harmful substances, such as bacteria, pesticides, or allergens, as well as verifying nutritional content. Various methods, including laboratory tests and sensory evaluations, are used to assess food safety and quality.
The results of food testing help manufacturers comply with regulations and provide consumers with safe products. Organizations like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) set guidelines for food testing to protect public health and maintain trust in the food supply.
