Ensuring Safety, Quality &
Compliance Across Every Bite
At SIMA LABS, we specialize in the testing and quality assurance of canned and processed foods—covering any food product that has been altered from its natural state through methods such as washing, canning, freezing, cooking, baking, fortifying, or adding ingredients. With the increasing demand for convenience foods among India’s urban and working population, the processed food sector is growing rapidly, making food safety and compliance more important than ever.
Processed foods include a broad array of items found in everyday households—from simple dairy products and baked goods to frozen meals and ready-to-eat snacks. This growing variety necessitates continuous monitoring and evaluation of both ingredients and final products to ensure consumer safety and satisfaction.
SIMA LABS provides advanced testing solutions aligned with FSSAI regulations and international standards. Our laboratory ensures accurate analysis of nutritional content, contaminants, microbiological safety, and packaging integrity—essential throughout the production cycle, from raw material sourcing to shelf stability.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) mandates strict guidelines for food labeling and packaging, especially for packaged and processed foods. These regulations require the declaration of allergens on product labels if the food contains ingredients such as gluten (from wheat, rye, barley, oats, spelt, or hybrid strains), crustaceans, milk and dairy products, eggs, fish, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, or sulphites exceeding 10 mg.
SIMA Labs supports compliance with these standards by offering comprehensive shelf life studies to determine the duration a product remains safe and suitable for consumption. We conduct both short-term and long-term stability studies for all types of processed foods, following ICH and WHO guidelines through both accelerated and real-time testing protocols.
