| | Our services are divided into three primary categories: Microbiology,
Nutrition and Pesticide related testing. In addition, many of our services are
oriented towards specific commodities. Please visit the following sections of our
Web site for more details about each category.
- Microbiology
-
The majority of cases of food poisoning are caused by
microorganisms, rather than by chemicals. We offer microbiological
analyses for common food-borne human pathogens, food spoilage
organisms, mycotoxins, etc.
- Nutrition
-
"Nutrition Facts" food labels are required on most
packaged food products. The format and content of food labels is
strictly defined by FDA in order to make the comparison of nutrients
in foods easier and to ensure uniform standards.
- Pesticides
-
The word pesticide is a broad term meaning to kill pests.
Specific types of pesticides, and the type of pest they control are:
Insecticides (insects), fungicides (molds & fungi), herbicides
(weeds), acaricides (spiders & mites), rodenticides (rodents),
molluscicides (slugs & snails), bactericide (bacteria).
- Commodity Specific Analysis
-
We offer many single tests and profiles especially for specific
types of commodities. Honey, potatoes and mint are only three examples
of the many commodities we test. Import and export testing of
commodities is especially important in global trading.
