Food Testing Laboratories
This scheme provides financial assistance for setting up food testing laboratories in India. Testing of Food is very essential for consumer and public safety. Food testing and certification ensures that the Food Items comply with the domestic standards as well as international standards in case of exports. There is also a need for testing of all imported food products to ensure that they are of the requisite standard and food products not permitted for manufacture domestically are not allowed to come in from foreign markets. The level of contaminants, additives, and pesticide residues in food items is required to be monitored regularly. Therefore, a network of food testing and analysis laboratories is required to support the surveillance system of food regulator, timely analysis of samples and ensure compliance of international and domestic standards on food in case of exports as well as imports.
