Food safety testing is performed to supervise the quality and prevent unwanted incidents of foodborne illnesses, toxicity, or poisoning. “Food safety audit” means a systematic and functionally independent examination of food safety measures adopted by manufacturing units to determine whether such measures and related results meet the objectives of food safety. “Food Safety Management System (FSMS)” means adopting good manufacturing practices, good hygienic practices, hazard analysis, critical control points, and such other practices as may be specified by the regulations for the food business. According to Food Legislation, Law No 18, 2012: “Food safety is a condition and effort that is required to prevent food from the possibility of biological, chemical, and other pollution that can interfere, harm, and endanger the human health as well as not conflicting with religion, belief, and culture of the society so that it is safe for consumption.”

Visionary leaders are the leading market players in terms of new developments such as product launches, innovative technologies, and the adoption of growth strategies. These players have a broad product offering that caters to most of the regions globally. Visionary leaders primarily focus on acquiring the leading market position through their strong financial capabilities and their well-established brand equity.

Dynamic Differentiators are established players with very strong business strategies. However, they have a weaker product portfolio compared to the visionary leaders. They generally focus only on a specific type of technology related to the product.

Innovators in the competitive leadership mapping are vendors that have demonstrated substantial product innovations as compared to their competitors. The companies have focused on product portfolios. However, they do not have very strong growth strategies for their overall business, when compared with the visionary leaders.

Emerging companies have niche product and service offerings. Their business strategies are not as strong as that of the established vendors. The emerging vendors include the new entrants in the market, emerging in terms of product portfolio and geographic reach, and require time to gain significant traction in the market.
