In recent months, South Africa has witnessed a surge in food poisoning incidents, with Gauteng alone recording 441 cases. Numerous other cases have been reported across the country with dozens of children losing their lives or hospitalised due to contaminated
food. As a business owner, ensuring the authenticity and safety of your products is crucial. Not only does it protect consumers, but it also safeguards your reputation and bottom line.
Analysis in Food Safety
Regular analysis plays a vital role in detecting problems that can compromise the integrity of your products. These issues include plant mix-ups, medicinal substances, deliberate adulteration for financial gain, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
By conducting regular tests, you can identify potential issues, combat fraud, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Choosing the Right Technique
Several analysis techniques are used to verify the authenticity of food products.
The type of product determines the most suitable analysis technique. For instance, certain methods are better suited for detecting contaminants in meat products, while others are more effective for analysing dairy products.
