Summary

This publication aims to provide guidance on selecting and using a pH meter to accurately measure the pH of food products. Whether pH testing is conducted for routine quality checks or for safety evaluations, proper testing techniques are essential. Although the guidance references the Code of Federal Regulations for acidified foods (21 CFR Part 114.3), the procedures and instructions provided can still apply to any food requiring pH measurement.
