The marine food/seafood products business continually evolves with consumer demand. During various fishing and aquaculture operations, the food may be subjected to dangerous residues (such as histamines and biotoxins), organic and inorganic pollutants (such as heavy metals, dioxins, and radioactivity), veterinary medication residues, and other contaminants. Our marine food/seafood testing facility in Chennai can assist producers in identifying and addressing these problematic parts of the process.

Our advanced seafood testing technology and our dedicated group of experts let us analyze the freshness of food while following national and international hygiene and grading requirements

Why is Marine Food/Seafood Testing Required?
