| ==Introduction==
| |
| The food and beverage laboratory plays a vital role in helping improve and secure our food supply and the consumable products that get made from it. It does this by playing a number of roles within the overall food and beverage industry, including within the research and development (R&D), pre-manufacturing and manufacturing, and post-production regulation and security phases of food and beverage production.<ref name="DouglasWhatIs22">{{cite web |url=https://www.limswiki.org/index.php/LIMS_FAQ:What_is_the_importance_of_a_food_and_beverage_testing_laboratory_to_society%3F |title=What is the importance of a food and beverage testing laboratory to society? |author=Douglas, S.E. |work=LIMSwiki |date=16 August 2022 |accessdate=16 August 2022}}</ref> It's within these roles a multi-discipline approach to testing occurs, depending on the role played by the lab. However, regardless of role, all testing boils down to a means of better ensuring safer, more nutritious and delicious foods and beverages.
