Quality Control Activities: Quality & Safety is the foundation of any food processing industry. In the sea food industry, due to the tropical conditions, quality control is a very vital element as the quality of the products processed is highly heterogeneous and perishable in nature. Realizing this, MPEDA advised the industry to adopt modern methods of handling, processing with adequate quality control measures to safeguard the quality of sea food.<\/p>

To cope up with the ever-increasing demand for safe food and to satisfy the needs of health & quality conscious consumers all over the world, MPEDA Quality Control Section identified the following thrust areas for development \/ improvement and implements programmes as under:<\/p>

    1. MPEDA has set up Labs at Kochi, Bhimavaram, Nellore, Bhubaneswar & Porbandar with facilities to test seafood samples for heavy metals, dyes, pesticides and antibiotic residues using advanced technology.<\/li>
    2. It is operating a nationwide network of ELISA labs to ensure antibiotic residue free aquaculture shrimp for export.<\/li>
    3. Imparting technical knowhow and information to seafood industry for quality up-gradation.<\/li>
    4. Entrusting special research projects on quality problems with National Research Institutes as and when required<\/li>
    5. Integrated development programme for upgrading seafood quality by providing assistance for setting up of mini labs to achieve quality assurance.<\/li>
    6. Disseminating standards for compliance for export of fish and fishery products to various countries based on standards \/ norms \/ regulations prescribed\/revised by such countries from time to time.<\/li>
    7. Arranging delegations from India to acquaint with latest development in technology and resolving quality issues if any.<\/li>
