Expert advice from chemists and analysts on food chemistry

We provide a range of accredited, chemical food analysis services to the North American, Middle East, UK and Irish Food Industry. Clients receive premium laboratory testing services supported by expert advice from chemists and analysts on food chemistry.

Increasing regulation and consumer interest in nutritional information and claims has resulted in a need for rapid, consistent analysis to verify nutritional information and any associated claims on product labels. We provide a range of testing and have the option of providing priority turnarounds to meet the increasing pressure to reduce the New Product Development (NPD) cycle.

Our service offering also includes the testing of food for additives and contaminants. Many of these compounds such as preservatives, pesticides and toxins are regulated with maximum permitted levels. We can help with complaints examinations, food allergen determination, compositional standards, colours, preservatives and artificial sweeteners.

The company participates in a number of performance schemes to ensure the validity of the results and food chemistry reports can be provided electronically through cutting edge web based information systems.
