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, dairies, grain handlers, oil mills, spice manufacturers, and agricultural producers with chemical testing as per IS, AOAC, and FSSAI methods. Our scope covers proximate analysis, nutritional labelling parameters, and quality tests for a wide range of food and agricultural commodities.
