Food safety isn’t just a box to tick—it’s your brand’s promise, your customers’ trust, and your license to grow. One contaminated batch, one misdeclared allergen, or one wrong label can ripple into recalls, lawsuits, and reputational damage that takes years to repair. That’s exactly why food testing is mission-critical—and why partnering with a dependable lab matters.
Meet EKO Testing Labs (formerly known as EKO Pro Engineers Pvt. Ltd.)—your end-to-end testing partner for safe, compliant, high-quality food and beverages. Whether you’re a startup cloud kitchen or a nationwide FMCG, we help you find risks before consumers do—and turn results into actionable improvements.

Why Food Testing Matters More Than Ever Public Health & Consumer TrustFrom infant foods to ready-to-eat meals, consumers expect what’s on the label to match what’s in the pack. Testing is how you verify that expectation—objectively. When you can show scientific proof of safety and quality, you earn trust that marketing alone can’t buy.
Regulatory Compliance & Market AccessCompliance requirements (e.g., FSSAI standards and related schedules) exist to protect consumers. Testing demonstrates conformity, supports licensing, and unlocks market access—especially if you’re exporting where buyers often request evidence aligned to Codex or recognized methods.
Brand Protection & Recall PreventionThink of testing like a seatbelt. You hope you never need it, but you’re glad it’s there. Routine verification catches deviations early, preventing expensive reworks or recalls and protecting your brand equity.
The Big Four Risks Food Testing Tackles Microbiological HazardsPathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus can turn a great-looking product into a public health risk. Testing for indicator organisms (TVC, coliforms, yeast & mold) also helps you gauge hygiene and shelf-life.
Chemical RisksFrom heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium) to pesticide residues, mycotoxins (like aflatoxins), veterinary drug residues, and processing contaminants (e.g., acrylamide)—chemical safety is non-negotiable. Nutritional accuracy (protein, fat, carbs, fiber, salt) also matters for truthful labeling.
Physical ContaminantsGlass shards, metal fragments, stones, and plastic pieces are rare—but even one can cause injury and liability. While in-line detection (X-ray/metal detectors) is your first defense, lab checks and root-cause analysis close the loop.
Allergen MislabelingUndeclared allergens are a leading cause of recalls worldwide. Testing helps verify clean-downs, validate allergen controls, and support accurate labels for allergens like peanut, tree nuts, gluten, milk, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, and sesame.
India’s Food Compliance Landscape—At A Glance FSSAI Benchmarks & SchedulesIndia’s FSSAI lays down standards, limits, and testing references across categories—dairy, oils, cereals, beverages, meat, and more. Routine testing helps you show compliance, respond to inspections, and keep documentation clean.
Codex References & Export ReadinessExport buyers often reference Codex standards or request recognized methods (AOAC, ISO, BIS/IS). A lab that understands both domestic and international expectations smooths your path to global markets.
FSMS, HACCP, ISO 22000 AlignmentTesting is a cornerstone of your Food Safety Management System—from hazard analysis to verification. Use lab data to calibrate your CCPs, validate sanitation, and demonstrate due diligence.

Shelf-Life Studies & Challenge Testing Real-Time vs AcceleratedReal-time studies track product performance under intended storage. Accelerated studies pressure-test your product to predict likely failure modes. Use both to set confident “best before” dates.
Packaging’s Role In Shelf-LifeThe right barrier properties, headspace, and sealing integrity can dramatically extend shelf-life. Pair packaging migration tests with shelf-life trials for a complete picture.
Value-Added Support GMP, GHP & Hygiene AuditsWe help assess and elevate your facility hygiene—from SOP reviews to on-floor observations—so your FSMS is more than just paperwork.
Allergen Management ProgramsWe assist with zoning, changeover validations, and verification testing so you can label with confidence and prevent cross-contact.
Supplier Qualification & Vendor ScorecardsStandardize your supplier approvals with clear specs, incoming QC, and periodic verification testing.
Common Mistakes To Avoid Wrong SamplingA non-representative sample can hide issues or exaggerate problems. Follow sampling plans meticulously (we’ll help).
Testing Too LateTesting after production is finished is like reading the last page of a mystery novel. Build checks earlier—raw materials, in-process, and environment.
Ignoring Environmental SwabsYou can have perfect ingredients and still face recurring contamination if harborage points aren’t identified. Swab, trend, fix.
Not Mapping AllergensIf you handle allergens, document their movement across the facility and validate cleaning. Guesswork invites recalls.
Picking The Right Lab—A Quick Checklist Methods, Scope & TransparencyAsk what methods are used and why they suit your matrix. Expect clarity on LOQs, uncertainty, and interpretation.
Turnaround Times & SupportFast is valuable—but only if results are reliable and explained clearly. Ensure post-report support is included.
Data Security & ConfidentialityYour formulations and results are sensitive. Confirm strict confidentiality and controlled data access.
Costs, Timelines & Smart Budgeting Bundle Panels vs Single TestsBundled panels often reduce cost and ensure you aren’t missing critical parameters. For investigations, targeted single tests make sense too—start lean, scale as needed.
Calendarizing ComplianceMake a quarterly/biannual testing calendar per product line, raw material, and environment. Predictability saves money and avoids last-minute panic.

FAQs 1) How often should I test my finished products?Frequency depends on risk level, volume, and history. As a baseline, most brands test new batches more frequently, then move to a routine schedule (e.g., monthly/quarterly) once process control is proven, with extra checks after any change in supplier, formulation, or equipment.
2) Can you help with sampling and pick-up in Delhi–NCR?Yes. We support clients across Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad with clear sampling guidance and coordinated pick-ups to protect sample integrity.
3) Do you interpret results against regulatory limits?We provide decision-ready reports that map your results to relevant specifications and applicable limits for your product category, along with practical next steps if something is out of spec.
4) What’s the difference between real-time and accelerated shelf-life studies?Real-time studies run under intended storage conditions to observe actual behavior. Accelerated studies use elevated stress (temperature/humidity) to indicate likely failure modes sooner. Many brands use both to set and validate shelf-life.
5) How do I get started if I’m new to testing?Easy—call us at +91 98188 14009. We’ll discuss your products, risks, and goals, then recommend a right-sized panel and a simple roadmap for compliance, quality, and speed.
