The pet food industry is subject to strict regulations to ensure that products are safe, nutritious, and free from contaminants. Ensuring the quality and safety of pet food requires thorough testing of ingredients, formulations, and finished products. Comprehensive testing helps identify potential risks, verify nutritional claims, and meet regulatory standards set by organizations like AAFCO and FDA.
GPAL’s pet food testing services provide manufacturers with the data and insights needed to create safe, high-quality pet food that meets both regulatory requirements and consumer expectations.
GPAL offers a wide range of testing services specifically tailored to the needs of pet food manufacturers. From ingredient testing to finished product analysis, we ensure that your pet food is safe, nutritious, and compliant with industry regulations.
Pet owners are increasingly looking for pet food that provides the right balance of nutrients for their pets. GPAL’s nutritional analysis services verify the content of key nutrients in pet food products, such as protein, fat, fiber, and moisture. We also test for specific vitamins and minerals, ensuring that your pet food meets AAFCO nutritional guidelines and delivers the health benefits promised on the label.
Pet food products are susceptible to contamination from harmful bacteria, which can pose serious health risks to pets. GPAL’s microbiological testing services detect pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli, ensuring that your pet food products are safe for consumption. We provide fast, accurate results to help you mitigate contamination risks and maintain product safety.
Pet food ingredients can sometimes carry traces of pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, and other harmful substances. GPAL’s residue testing services detect and quantify these residues in pet food products, helping you ensure compliance with regulatory limits and providing peace of mind to pet owners concerned about the safety of their pet’s food.
Mycotoxins, which are harmful substances produced by molds, can contaminate pet food ingredients such as grains and cereals. GPAL offers mycotoxin testing to detect dangerous toxins like aflatoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON), and zearalenone, ensuring that your pet food products meet safety standards and are free from harmful contaminants.
Heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium can pose significant health risks to pets if present in pet food products. GPAL’s heavy metal testing services use advanced techniques like ICP-MS and AAS to detect and quantify these metals in pet food, ensuring your products are safe for consumption and comply with regulatory limits.
