Food and feed
In recent years, social attention for safe food and healthy animal feed has increased enormously. And rightly so. Food spoilage, the presence of pathogens, recalls when allergens or contaminants turn up in (animal) food … that is something you want to avoid as a food producer or distributor. That is why we help you by thoroughly analysing your food products.
How do we support you?
We support food producers and distributors with:
- Inspection according to the analysis plan that we can draw up together.
- Guidance when choosing parameters.
- Food information for consumers via an ingredient and nutrition list according to the FIC regulations.
- Analyses for certification at import and export.
Which foods do we analyse?
Our laboratory technicians examine various aspects from:
- Appetizers to dessert and this including the beverages
- All types of pet food and the corresponding drinking water
Which analyses do we carry out?
Because we are specialised in both chemical and microbiological analyses, we have an answer to every question about analysing food products. But also, a ‘check after cleaning’ or the analysis of air is possible.
- Microbiology based on general and hygienic parameters, including pathogens and challenge tests
- Physiochemistry:
- Allergens (environment and end products testing for the presence of allergens, to avoid cross-contamination)
- Vitamins
- Nutritional analyses
- Contaminants and residues
- Additives
- DNA analyses incl. molecular biology (authenticity and quality of a product - e.g., meat - can be guaranteed by DNA analysis)
