Introduction
Country’s Food Regulator, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has made a quick progress towards the use of advanced technologies for food testing in the year 2019.
Several new rapid food testing devices/kits for detection of food-borne pathogens and toxins have been introduced during 2019. These devices ensure “faster, better, cheaper” real-time testing of food. These are expected to become an integral part of quality assurance/quality control programs in the food industry and also for regulatory and surveillance purposes in 2020.
