Comprehensive Testing Approach
in the Retail Sector

We efficiently ensure fast and reliable analysis results, tailored testing strategies, product safety, regulatory compliance and market acceptance, enabling informed decisions in quality and risk management.

Product-Specific Analyses and Risk-Based Approach

We select analyses based on product-specific risks and exposure pathways. In doing so, we specifically test for contaminants, MOSH/MOAH, elements and residues. In this way we provide you with robust data on the quality and safety of your products.

Declaration Checks Based on Original Packaging & Artwork

We verify product labelling through analytical testing of ingredients and nutritional values. Any discrepancies between the declared information and the laboratory results are reported transparently. This helps ensure accurate consumer information, supports compliance with legal requirements, and reduces the risk of complaints or regulatory issues.

Marketability Certificates

We conduct a comprehensive assessment of products marketability based on analytical results. In doing so, we consider composition, contaminants, and labelling. That allows us to provide a well-founded assessment of compliance with legal requirements.

Consulting on Food Law

We assist you in evaluating analytical results within a regulatory context. In the event of complaints or crises, we provide a basis for making decisions. This facilitates risk-based measures, right through to the efficient management of product recalls.

Sterility Testing

We carry out microbiological tests to verify sterility. In doing so, relevant parameters for sensitive products are systematically assessed. This helps to minimise microbial risks and ensure product quality.

Test Matrices Along the Supply Chain

We test a wide variety of product matrices using customised analytical strategies to ensure quality, safety, and marketability.
