HomeFood and Feed Testing
Food and feed testing that holds up in an audit
Comprehensive microbiological and chemical analysis of food, ingredients, finished product and animal feed samples.
What we accept
Sample types
Ingredients, finished product, feed and the water used to make it. If it goes into the food chain we can put it on the bench.

Packages and pricing
Choose the package that matches the requirement
We price per sample, and the price depends on the determinands you actually need. Send us your list and you get a written quote with a turnaround time attached, usually the same working day.
| Package | What it covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Screening | Indicator organisms on a single batch or ingredient | Spot checks and incoming raw material verification |
| Finished product | Indicator organisms plus the pathogens your specification names | Release testing before product leaves the floor |
| Full suite | Micro and chemical analysis across the product profile | New product launches and retailer or export submissions |
| Monitoring contract | Scheduled batch testing with trend reporting | Ongoing production under FSSC 22000 or a retailer audit |
Turnaround is confirmed on your quote. Microbiological work is governed by incubation time and cannot be shortened past the method. Chemical analyses are generally quicker.
Common questions
Before you send the sample
Yes. Our consulting team builds sampling plans that satisfy your food safety system rather than a generic list of tests.
Shelf life work is available. Because it runs over time, it needs to be planned around your production schedule, so raise it early.
You get a call, not just a report. We then help with root cause analysis and corrective action so the same failure does not repeat.
Yes. Feed samples are handled under the same microbiological and chemical scope as food.
