Food & water testing.
Product testing every six months is a condition of licence for manufacturers and importers. Water that goes into food is tested on the same cycle.
The right tests, at the right lab, on the right schedule — and a report you understand.
Where the rule comes from
Schedule 2, Annexure 3, condition 12 — testing at least once in six months

The mistakes we see most.
A report that doesn’t cover the category’s standard doesn’t prove compliance.
Use an FSSAI-notified or NABL-accredited lab.
