In the highly regulated food processing industry, ensuring product safety and quality is critical to maintaining consumer trust and meeting regulatory requirements. Contaminants, inconsistent formulations, and unsafe levels of microorganisms can lead to recalls, spoilage, or consumer dissatisfaction. That’s why comprehensive and reliable testing is an essential part of food production.
GPAL’s testing services help food manufacturers identify potential issues early, verify product quality, and ensure compliance with safety standards like HACCP and FDA regulations. Whether you’re testing for microbiological contamination, nutritional content, or the quality of your ingredients, GPAL provides the data you need to make informed decisions and maintain product integrity.
Our extensive range of testing services is designed to meet the specific needs of the food manufacturing sector. We provide testing for raw materials, in-process testing, and finished product evaluation to ensure that your products meet safety, quality, and regulatory standards.
Foodborne pathogens and microbial contamination are among the top concerns in food processing. Our microbiology lab excels in detecting harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, helping you prevent contamination, recalls, and potential shutdowns. We offer fast and reliable results to ensure that your processing environment remains safe and your products meet safety standards.
Accurate nutritional labeling and chemical composition testing are essential for meeting regulatory requirements and consumer expectations. Our nutritional analysis services include proximate analysis, vitamin testing, and custom chemical testing to verify that your products contain the right levels of macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals. This testing is crucial for compliance with FDA labeling laws and for maintaining transparency with consumers.
In the food processing industry, understanding the shelf life of your products is critical to ensuring quality and safety over time. We conduct comprehensive shelf-life studies that simulate real-world storage conditions to determine how your products hold up over time. This helps ensure that your products maintain their taste, texture, and safety for the duration of their intended shelf life.
GPAL’s advanced pathogen detection services offer fast, accurate testing for dangerous bacteria in raw materials, ingredients, and finished products. We test for pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria with one-day turnaround times, allowing you to quickly identify and address contamination risks in your food processing facility.
Mycotoxins can develop in grains and other raw materials during storage, posing significant risks to both product safety and consumer health. GPAL offers specialized mycotoxin testing to detect harmful toxins like aflatoxins, DON (deoxynivalenol), and zearalenone, ensuring your raw materials and finished products are safe and compliant with industry regulations.
