Snacks testing lab
What is bakery and snacks testing?
Bakery and snacks testing is the laboratory analysis of baked goods, snacks and sweets for quality, fat rancidity, additives, nutrition and microbiology, to show they are safe, compliant and will last until their best-before date.
Fried snacks and baked goods go rancid as their fat oxidises, and sweets and bakery items can support mould and bacteria. Colours, preservatives and sweeteners must stay within FSSAI limits.
Accurate Universal Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. tests bakery products, namkeen, chips, sweets and chocolates for brands, manufacturers and sweet shops.

FAQs
Bakery, Snacks & Confectionery Testing: common questions
Which tests are done on namkeen and chips?
Moisture, fat content, acid value and peroxide value of the extracted fat to check rancidity, and microbiology are the most common tests.
Why is the fat in snacks tested?
Fried snacks go rancid as their fat oxidises, causing off-flavours. Acid value and peroxide value of the extracted fat show how fresh the product is.
Do sweets need testing for colours?
Yes. Only permitted synthetic colours may be used, within FSSAI limits. We test sweets and confectionery for colours.
How much does snacks testing cost?
The cost depends on the product and parameters. Share your requirement and we will send an itemised quotation.
