Food Processing Contaminant Detection
Food processing contaminant testing is the process of detecting and assessing harmful chemical substances that may be generated or introduced into food during its cultivation, processing, storage, and transportation. Common contaminants include aflatoxin, heavy metals, acrylamide, 3-MCPD, dioxins, and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). This type of testing aims to ensure that food complies with national and international food safety regulations and protect consumer health.
