Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)
• Biological hazards: Derived from microbial hazards such as salmonella and E. coli bacteria.
• Chemical hazards: Contamination with chemicals used in agriculture and the production processes
of raw materials such as antibiotics, plant growth substances and pesticides, as well as food additives
such as preservatives, and including chemicals that are used in the production/processing plant such
as oil, grease and cleaning agents for equipment and machinery.
• Physical hazards: Foreign objects in food that can cause illness or injury to the consumer such as
glass, pieces of metal, plastic or wood.
Food testing laboratory - Techniques
1. Analytical chemistry testing: This helps to identify, separate and even find the quantity of the
chemical components of natural and artificial materials in the food product such as pH,
additives, nutrients, preservatives, contaminants, minerals and much more.
2. Microbiology testing: This food testing helps food manufacturers identify the microorganisms
that inhabit the food and understand the safety of the raw materials used in food production,
ingredients as well as the final product. This is also used to test and examine spoiled
pathogens to prevent food poisoning outbreaks that are generally caused by the products
and the ingredients used in the products. This is also a necessity otherwise the whole supply
chain can be contaminated and disrupted in the process of food production, leading to not
only a danger to the general public but also a hefty loss of money.
3. Food allergen test: Food allergens are proteins that appear in huge quantities. It helps to find
the main target allergen in the ingredients and finished food product. Normally allergens are
tested in food products such as peanuts, gluten in grains, eggs, nuts and milk, etc.
4. Nutritional analysis: This area in food testing provides accurate information on the nutritional
content of food products. This gives manufacturers the required details to include it on food
packaging and ensure that they are following all compliances and labelling regulations.
5. Sensory testing: Sensory testing is identification of food product properties by using the
human senses (sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing) for the purposes of evaluating
consumer products. In smell testing, olfactory receptors in the nose identify rancidity in a
product. In tasting, the sensory organs on the tongue can identify the intensity of sweetness
in food products.
gas chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatography for analysis of the purity, or
determination of the content, of many substances in mixture samples. Inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometry is a type of mass spectrometry that is capable of detecting metals and several
non-metals at the low concentrations required in industrial monitoring. The laboratory used should
be accredited under a standard such as the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. ISO/IEC 17025 is the general
requirement for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. A competent laboratory will
use ISO/IEC 17025 to implement a quality system to improve and maintain its ability to produce
consistently accurate and reliable results.
The two main sections in ISO/IEC 17025 are management and technical requirements. They are
intended to ensure efficiency and technical competency in all calibration and testing.

In India, regulations set up by FSSAI are most vital and should be followed and monitored regularly.
