Dairy Processing

The dairy industry is one of the most highly regulated sectors in food production. Ensuring the safety and quality of dairy products requires precise testing throughout the production process. From microbiological testing to detect pathogens, to chemical analysis for nutrient content, comprehensive testing is essential for verifying that dairy products are safe for consumption, meet nutritional claims, and comply with FDA and USDA regulations.

At GPAL, we provide a full suite of dairy testing services to help you protect your brand, ensure product safety, and meet consumer expectations for quality.

Comprehensive Testing for the Dairy Industry

GPAL offers a wide range of testing services tailored to the specific needs of dairy processors. From raw milk testing to finished product analysis, we ensure that your products are safe, consistent, and of the highest quality.

Microbiological Testing

Microbial contamination is a top concern for dairy processors, as it can lead to spoilage, product recalls, and health risks. GPAL’s microbiology lab offers comprehensive testing for harmful bacteria such as Listeria, E. coli, and Salmonella, ensuring that your dairy products are safe for consumption. We provide fast, accurate results, helping you detect contamination risks early and take corrective action.

Nutritional and Chemical Analysis

Accurate nutritional labeling is essential for dairy products, especially as consumers seek out specific nutritional benefits like calcium, protein, and probiotics. Our nutritional analysis services verify the content of key nutrients, ensuring that your labels are accurate and compliant with FDA regulations. We also provide chemical testing to detect any additives, preservatives, or contaminants that could impact the safety or quality of your dairy products.

Residue Testing

Antibiotic residues in milk and dairy products are a critical concern for both consumers and regulators. GPAL’s residue testing services detect traces of antibiotics and other chemicals in dairy products, ensuring compliance with regulatory limits and helping you maintain consumer trust. We test for a variety of residues, including antibiotics, hormones, and pesticides, to ensure your dairy products are free from harmful substances.

Shelf-Life Studies

Understanding the shelf life of dairy products is critical for ensuring quality and safety throughout distribution and storage. GPAL conducts shelf-life studies that simulate real-world conditions, assessing factors such as microbial growth, flavor stability, and texture changes over time. Our studies help you determine the optimal shelf life for your dairy products, ensuring they maintain their quality from production to consumption.

Pathogen Detection

Dairy products are particularly susceptible to contamination from pathogens such as Listeria, E. coli, and Salmonella, which can pose significant health risks. GPAL’s pathogen detection services provide fast, accurate testing to identify potential contamination risks in your raw materials and finished products, ensuring your dairy products meet strict safety standards.
