mattrygghetstesting
Mattrygghetstesting is the systematic process of analyzing food products to identify hazards and verify compliance with safety standards. It covers the detection of microbiological, chemical, and physical hazards, as well as allergens and adulterants, throughout the food supply chain from production to point of sale.
Practitioners collect representative samples and perform laboratory analyses using methods such as culture-based microbiology, polymerase chain
Results are interpreted against regulatory limits and safety standards set by authorities (for example EFSA, FDA,
Quality assurance is central, with accreditation to standards such as ISO/IEC 17025, participation in proficiency testing,
Applications span manufacturers, processors, retailers, import/export, and regulatory compliance. Challenges include complexity of food matrices, low-level
Emerging trends include high-throughput screening, multiplex assays, metagenomics, on-site test formats, and integrated data management.
