Comprehensive Overview

Grains, pulses, flours, and millets form the core of food supply chains. We evaluate physical purity, insect damage, gluten quality, uric acid levels, heavy metal presence, and pesticide residues in wheat flour (Maida/Atta), rice varieties, pulses (Dhal), and processed cereal mixes.

Applicable Regulatory Standards & Testing Protocols

✓ FSSAI Cereal & Pulses Regulations ✓ IS 1009 (Wheat Flour / Atta) ✓ IS 1155 (Maida Specification)
