Food
safety testing signifies testing of food products to assure the absence of
contaminants that are responsible for foodborne illness, toxicity or poisoning.
Food safety testing is essential to prevent consumption of contaminated food
that has been responsible for outbreaks of foodborne illnesses. Contamination
of food can occur due to exposure to contaminated equipments or raw materials,
contaminated water, improper handling, and inefficient treatment. In North
America, food safety regulatory bodies such as FDA, CFIA, GFSI, USDA, etc. have
been implementing food safety regulations to manufacture safe food using Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Agriculture Practices (GAP), and Hazard
Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems. The regulations specify
testing of food materials and food manufacturing processes at every stage, to
prevent food contamination and outbreaks of foodborne poisoning. Implementation
of these food safety regulations has been driving the food safety testing
market.
This report
explicitly describes the North American food safety testing market in terms of
contaminants such as pathogens, toxins, pesticides, genetically modified
organisms and other contaminants such as food allergens, chemical residues,
etc. in three countries such as U.S., Canada and Mexico. Safety testing of food
products such as meat & poultry products, dairy products, processed foods,
fruits & vegetables, and other foods such as cereals, food additives, etc.
using technologies such as traditional & rapid testing methods have been
described in the report. The report also specifies food safety contaminant
testing market based on pathogen subtypes, in various food types, and
geographies.
The North
American food safety testing market is projected to grow from $3,707.7 million
in 2012 to $5,640.1 million by 2018. In 2012, U.S. dominated the food safety
testing market largely due to the rigorous implementation of food safety
regulations such as ;zero tolerance policy for listeria contamination. The
regulatory bodies in North America have been strictly supervising the
implementation of HACCP systems by food manufacturers. The food safety concern
among consumers has also been increasing due to the media influence. The market
has been driven by the testing of food material during every stage of food
production and processing.

Pathogens
have been the leading cause of foodborne poisoning or illness. In 2012,
pathogen testing dominated the food safety testing market in which salmonella
testing accounted for the major share. Food contamination and recalls due to
salmonella contamination has led to increase in the salmonella testing.
Increasing food contamination and outbreak of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli
(STEC) poisoning is expected to increase E. coli testing in market. Food safety
testing market is projected to increase at a CAGR of 7.3% by 2018. In North
America, rapid technology market for contaminant testing has been increasing as
they are less time consuming.
The report
provides full analysis of the key players in North American food safety testing
industry, major technologies employed to detect contaminants and food products
tested, with a clear insight and commentary on the developments and trends.
With the huge opportunity in the market, the existing laboratories are
experiencing a significant boom in the industry. Major growth in the food
safety testing market is anticipated to come from U.S. and Canada. The market
growth has also been attributed to the new product/services launch for food
safety testing. The report provides detailed analysis of the current phase of
the industry and the competitive strategies adopted by the major players in the
food safety testing industry.
