The increasing outbreak of foodborne illnesses and poisoning risks in Europe has resulted in the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) imposing strict food safety regulations. The regulations specify the maximum permitted level of any contaminant in food. EFSA has also specified that all food manufacturers are responsible for safety of food. Therefore, food safety testing has to be implemented throughout all stages of food production to ensure absence of contaminants and to prevent any potential health risks upon consumption of food. Regulatory bodies in Europe have been implementing Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems to ensure food safety. Implementation of these regulations has resulted in the growth of the food safety testing market. Globalization of food supply and consumer demands for food safety and information has further ensured the growth of the market.

This report comprehensively describes the European 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 five countries - U.K., Germany, France, Italy, and Poland. Safety testing of food products such as meat and poultry products, dairy products, processed food, fruit and vegetable, using technologies such as traditional and rapid testing methods are covered in the report. The report also discusses the food safety contaminant testing market based on pathogen subtypes, in various food types, and countries.
