About Food Contaminant Testing
Food contaminants are certain toxic or potentially harmful substances present in food that make it unfit for human consumption. These contaminants are of several types, some of which are listed below:
• Chemical contaminants are chemical substances that once in contact with food may lead to food poisoning. For instance, pesticides are insecticides that are used in agricultural practices.
• Processing contaminants are the ones generated during food processing activities such as heating and fermenting. For instance, benzene and trans-fat.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global food contaminant testing market to grow at a CAGR of 6.54% during the period 2017-2021.
