30% of foodborne deaths occur among children under 5 years of age. WHO estimated that every year around 33 million lives are lost due to eating unsafe food globally.
More than 200 diseases are caused due to the consumption of food contaminated with bacteria, parasites, viruses, or chemical substances like heavy metals.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, consciousness among the consumers related to food safety has significantly increased especially in regard to the food that is ordered online or consumed in restaurants. With the use of information technology (IT) to track client information and smartphone apps for food order and delivery using a drone and robotic technologies, a new business potential in the food sector has arisen as a result of the lockdown. The crisis offers a chance to change the food system in ways that are less susceptible to disruption. More than ever, consumers are concerned about food safety and the technology that upholds it.
Stringent regulations related to food safety in various regions is further contributing to the increasing demand of food safety testing. Increasing import and export of food items has led to increased contaminant levels due to improper monitoring. This is further creating a need for food safety testing. Additionally, growth in food & beverage industry is poised to support the growth of food safety testing market in the coming years.
However, the food safety testing market faces several challenges that are impeding its growth. These challenges include the high cost of testing, the lack of harmonization of regulations and standards, the complexity of the food supply chain, and the lack of public awareness of the importance of food safety testing. Rapidly evolving technology and testing methods are also a challenge for the food safety testing market. As new technologies and testing methods emerge, it can be difficult for food producers and suppliers to keep up with the latest developments and to invest in new equipment and training.
Increasing Prevalence of Food-Borne Diseases
According to the WHO, contaminated food contributes to 4,20,000 deaths and 600 million cases of foodborne illnesses worldwide each year.
Food safety testing is essential in ensuring the safety of the food supply, but it is not without its challenges. One of the main challenges is the cost of testing, which can be prohibitively expensive for small food producers and suppliers. Another challenge is the lack of standardization in testing methods, which can lead to inconsistent results and difficulty in comparing data across different testing laboratories.
The increasing prevalence of foodborne illnesses highlights the importance of food safety testing in ensuring the safety of the food supply. Food safety testing is a crucial tool in preventing and detecting contamination in food products, and it is important for food producers, suppliers, and government agencies to conduct regular testing to ensure that food products are safe for consumption. While there are challenges associated with food safety testing, continued efforts to improve testing methods and standardization can help ensure the safety of the global food supply.
Increasing Consumer’s Awareness Regarding Food Contamination
Consumers can protect themselves from contamination by increasing their awareness of the risks associated with foodborne illnesses and the importance of food safety testing. It is crucial for food producers and suppliers to conduct regular testing to ensure that their products are free from contamination, and for government agencies to enforce strict food safety regulations and guidelines.
However, consumers can also play a significant role in reducing the risk of contamination by being aware of the sources of contamination and taking steps to protect themselves. This includes properly storing and preparing food, washing hands and utensils, and avoiding high-risk foods such as raw or undercooked meats, raw or unpasteurized dairy products, and raw sprouts. Increased awareness of food contamination and food safety testing can also help consumers make more informed choices when it comes to purchasing food products. Consumers can look for labels and certifications that indicate that a product has been tested and meets certain safety standards.
In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards food transparency, with many companies providing more information about the sources of their ingredients, the production methods used, and the testing procedures in place to ensure food safety. This increased transparency can help build trust between consumers and food producers and can help consumers make more informed choices about the food they eat. increasing consumer awareness of food contamination and food safety testing is crucial in reducing the risk of foodborne illness. By being aware of the risks and taking steps to protect themselves, consumers can help ensure the safety of the food they eat. Increased transparency in the food industry can also help build trust and encourage more informed choices when it comes to purchasing food products. With continued efforts to improve food safety testing and consumer awareness, we can work towards a safer and healthier food supply for all. This has significantly increased the demand for food safety testing worldwide.
