Food & Agricultural Testing

Proximate composition, nutritional parameters, contaminants and adulterants — supporting food manufacturers, FSSAI compliance and agricultural commodity quality.

Overview

Food & Agricultural Testing

JEICL supports food processors, packaged drinking water units, dairies, grain handlers and agricultural producers with the full range of analytical tests required under FSS Regulations and buyer specifications. We handle everything from routine proximate analysis to heavy metal contamination studies and pesticide residue screening.
