Food Microbiological Testing

Reduce risk with targeted pathogen and indicator testing, plus robust environmental monitoring programs.

• Pathogens (e.g., Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli O157:H7, Cronobacter) and spoilage organisms
• Indicator organisms (APC, coliforms, yeast/mold) and hygiene verification
• Environmental swabbing and zone‑based monitoring; trend reporting and CAPA guidance
• Shelf‑life and challenge studies (as applicable)

Food Allergen Testing

Verify label claims and cleaning validation with sensitive methods across priority allergens.

• Ingredient and finished‑product screening (e.g., peanut, tree nuts, milk, egg, soy, wheat/gluten, sesame)
• Swab testing for sanitation validation and cross‑contact risk reduction
• Method selection and LOQ guidance for complex matrices

Food Sensory Analysis

Link consumer preference to measurable attributes to accelerate product success.

• Descriptive analysis and discrimination testing (triangle/duo‑trio)
• Consumer‑use testing with protocol design and statistical analysis
• Instrumental correlation (texture, color, aroma) to support reformulation and claims

Food Fraud & Adulteration

Detect substitutions, dilutions, and mislabeling using orthogonal analytical approaches.

• Authenticity testing (e.g., botanical ID, isotopic/chemometric profiling where applicable)
• Targeted and untargeted screening for adulterants and contaminants
• Supply‑chain vulnerability assessments and mitigation plans

Dietary Supplements & Natural Products

Analytical testing for nutraceuticals, botanicals, and natural products to confirm identity, purity, and label compliance.

• Active quantification and label‑claim verification
• Heavy metals, residual solvents, pesticides, and microbiological limits
• Method development/validation for complex botanicals

Food Safety Assurance Solutions

Go beyond testing with end‑to‑end assurance that aligns operations to global schemes and regulations.

• Food safety auditing and certification readiness (e.g., GFSI‑recognized schemes)
• Traceability, supply‑chain mapping, and mass‑balance verification
• Labeling solutions and regulatory reviews for destination markets
• People assurance: workforce training and competency programs
• Scientific and regulatory support, including health‑claim substantiation and submissions
