Many companies make viscosity measurements several times a day to qualify food products for compliance with specs that relate to consumer perception of flow behavior. Sauces and dressing must pour out of bottles without difficulty, but still have enough "body" to provide suitable coating or coverage of the substrate material. The same applies to spreads (cheese, jams, and condiments) which must successfully coat crackers, breads, etc. by giving a nice uniform thickness without breaking or tearing the substrate material. Therefore, the QC check for viscosity happens with each batch, if not multiple times while the food material is in the process, to guarantee acceptable flow behavior.
