Food safety and hygiene are critical to our health. Nowadays, consumers are paying more attention to food safety, diets, nutrition contents, and even product handling and management in the entire supply chain. People are generally conscious about healthy eating and the demand for quality food products is rising. Hong Kong's testing and certification industry, with its expertise in quality control, plays an important role in supporting the food trade in meeting various regulatory requirements as well as promoting consumers' confidence over the supply of foods.
