Food items go through a long process right from their production to processing, and finally, up until delivery. Certain chemicals are used in some of the included steps to keep the product protected from damaging factors; for example, the use of pesticides during crop production.

While these chemicals are crucial, their remains can also cause chemical contamination of food. That is why food contamination analysis is conducted to ensure that the food item is safe for consumption.

Food Contamination Analysis for Pesticide Residues

Out of all the possible chemical contaminants and residues in food, pesticides are the most common ones. For this reason, almost all kinds of foods are tested for any pesticide residue in them.

In case the traces are found more than permissible limits, the food becomes unsafe for consumption, and it will not make it to the market.

Food Contamination Testing for Heavy Metals

Heavy metal traces can also be found in certain food items, even the Ayurveda ones. Hence, it is necessary to check these products for heavy metals so that they do not cause any harm to the consumers.

Other Chemical Contaminants and Residues in Food

There can be several other toxic residues present in the food items. The food products have to be tested thoroughly to ensure that none of these components crosses their predetermined safe limits. This is the only way for authorities to guarantee that the food item is safe for consumption for the public.
