What is FSSAI testing?
FSSAI testing is the laboratory testing of a food product against the standards set by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India for its category, covering quality, safety and contaminant limits, to show the product complies with Indian food law.
Food businesses must make sure their products meet the FSSAI standard for their category, and licensed manufacturers are required to have their products tested periodically by an FSSAI notified laboratory. Our NABL certificate records that we fulfil the requirements of FSSAI.
We map the FSSAI standard for your product, test every parameter and issue an accredited report that you can use for compliance and upload where required.
