Nutritional labeling and value analysis

Greater consumer demand for product information means that food labelling requirements are becoming increasingly stringent around the globe. Falling short of legislation in their target market can have negative consequences for food operators placing food products onto the market.

Food analysis

Include variety of challenges from food contact materials, shelf life testing,allergens, meat species analysis, food fraud, GMO detection and sensory analysis.
