Expert Support for All Sectors
The quality of food is fundamentally determined by the quality of the plant and animal raw materials used in its production. This is primarily influenced by the environmental conditions of the production site. Our laboratory provides a comprehensive picture for the following sectors:
Food Manufacturers
Raw material analytics, in-process control, and final product qualification for the food industry.
Retail Chains
Product inspection, shelf-life, and food safety compliance for wholesale and retail units.
Restaurants & Hospitality
Microbiological control and hygiene condition assessment of restaurants and restaurant chains.
Private Individuals
Consumer food testing and nutritional value checks.
Operation of food safety monitoring systems and continuous microbiological control.
Investigation of food-related risks: identification of chemical and physical contaminants.
Comprehensive compliance testing according to domestic and EU food law (HACCP) regulations.
Our Testing
Our accredited laboratory performs comprehensive sampling and analytical testing in the following categories in accordance with current standards.
