Agricultural produce and retail packaged food need to meet regulatory standards, and manufacturers must prove that the products are safe for consumption.
As an animal product, the production volume and quality of honey are prone to variation. For the retail market, it is necessary to be cautious of adulteration and microbial contamination.
Considering the vulnerability of the consumers of these products, it is imperative to adhere to a strict code of hygiene and safety.
Perishable materials like seafood have a sensitive testing and consumption timeline. TÜV SÜD deals with microbiological testing of food products that must be dispatched to the markets well before spoilage.
As with all animal-based food items, the meat industry also operates on strict timelines. The risks and stakes with meat products are much higher.
Various national and international food safety and regulatory requirements need to be fulfilled to ensure the authenticity and standard of milk and dairy products.
Considering the increasing foodborne illness globally, newer and stricter safety and hygiene norms are being enforced with each passing year. Poultry and poultry products are always under scrutiny by the field of food microbiology research.
Processed foods need to follow safety regulations with chemicals, food colours, preservatives, etc. Processed foods in retail have to keep track of the various regional regulations and standards.
There is an overwhelming demand from consumers that healthcare, alternative medicine, nutraceuticals and dietary supplement products not just meet but exceed quality regulations.

• Environmental Monitoring
• Shelf-life studies
Microbial limits and specified microorganisms are determined through two methods:
1.The quantitative phase, Microbial Enumeration, gives you the total number of aerobic organisms, total yeast and mould count on a product.
2.The qualitative phase of a microbial limits test is known as the Test for Specified Microorganisms.
The prime objective is to mitigate risks to human health. Food microbiology testing for pathogens and organisms can help ensure the safety and hygiene of products and mitigate risks that can be detrimental to human health.
