Food Radioactivity Testing Lab in Delhi: Ensuring Food Safety & Compliance
AumNamah Radioanalytical Laboratory supports food radioactivity testing enquiries in Delhi for food businesses, agricultural suppliers and quality teams. Analysis can help investigate selected radionuclides in a defined product or batch, with the method and reporting requirement agreed before testing.
Radioactivity analysis for food and agriculture
Food investigations may involve cereals, pulses, spices, milk products, seafood, meat, beverages or animal feed. The product composition and sample preparation affect the measurement. Share the type of food, batch identification and reason for testing so the laboratory can review the requested radionuclides and suitable analytical approach.
Select the radionuclides required by your specification
Gamma spectrometry can identify and quantify suitable gamma-emitting radionuclides, including caesium-134 and caesium-137 where covered by the agreed method. Naturally occurring potassium-40 can also contribute to measured activity. A request for strontium-90 needs a suitable separate analytical approach; it should not be treated as an ordinary gamma spectrometry result.
Prepare a report for the intended buyer or destination
Provide the buyer's specification or destination-market requirement when requesting a quotation. The required isotopes, units and detection limits may differ between products and markets. Radioactivity analysis supports evaluation of the submitted sample; it does not by itself establish complete food safety or guarantee acceptance of a shipment. Confirm the current accreditation scope for the specific product and parameter.
Preparing your sample
Identify the product and batch and supply the buyer's requested test list. Ask for the minimum sample quantity and handling conditions before collection. Discuss chilled or perishable products in advance. Retain traceability between the submitted portion, the original packaging and the consignment it represents.

Frequently asked questions
Can a food radioactivity report support an export enquiry?
It can provide analytical information for the tested sample. Send the buyer's or destination's requirements first so the laboratory can confirm the required panel, reporting details and applicable scope.
Does gamma spectrometry measure strontium-90 in food?
Strontium-90 requires a suitable beta-emitter analysis rather than a routine gamma scan. Discuss any strontium-specific requirement separately before submitting the sample.
Does radioactivity testing replace chemical and microbiological food tests?
No. Those tests address different hazards. The full food testing programme should match the product, intended use and applicable requirements.
