The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the regulatory body of Indian Food Industry, on its part is trying to improve the quality of food products manufactured, marketed/consumed at every stage from farm to fork.
Dependence on Ready to Eat Processed foods and Consumer awareness made it relevant!
There are a lot of concern among the food processing Industry and QA/QC teams on how to comply with the regulations right from the Sample Collection to screening of Antibiotic Residues /Mycotoxins / Allergens/Pathogens etc. in various food matrices.
Protecting the Brand Image has become very critical! Market pressure drives the processors to look for more cost effective quality monitoring solutions to maintain end product quality. Traditional methods are time consuming as stock holding involves huge financial burden.
