Explore Europe Food Safety Testing Services by Risk Area
GMO Testing
Support EU market access, labeling compliance and non-GMO verification with accredited PCR testing for food and feed matrices. FoodChain ID helps teams verify GMO status, investigate threshold risk and generate documentation that supports customer, retailer and export requirements.
Use when you need lot testing, non-GMO verification, export support or defensible evidence for EU labeling and contract requirements.
Animal Species
Confirm species identity, support authenticity checks and investigate cross-contact or fraud risk with PCR-based species testing. FoodChain ID supports food and feed businesses that need defensible evidence for customer specifications, halal-related reviews or ruminant screening.
Use when supplier controls, product claims or market access depend on clear species identification and traceable test evidence.
Microbiology
Strengthen routine control and audit readiness with accredited microbiology testing from our BELAC 135-TEST ISO 17025 laboratory in Belgium. Services cover food and water microbiology, plus shelf-life and expiration studies. Annual sampling plans and practical scientific support help QA teams move from ad hoc testing to a more structured, preventive program.
Includes microbiology testing, water analyses, shelf-life studies, annual sampling plans and controlled sample handling for dependable results.
CMS Analysis
Detect and quantify CMS markers in Brassica and chicory to support seed selection, supplier review and organic program decisions. FoodChain ID uses PCR-based methods to identify ogura DNA in Brassica CMS varieties and sunflower DNA in chicory CMS varieties, giving teams clearer evidence when CMS status affects sourcing or market requirements.
Relevant for seed suppliers, breeders and organic stakeholders assessing CMS status in Brassica or chicory varieties.
Food Allergen
Verify allergen status in raw materials and finished products with ELISA- and PCR-based testing selected for the allergen and matrix involved. FoodChain ID helps QA teams strengthen HACCP verification, investigate cross-contact risk and support EU allergen compliance with methods that are specific, sensitive and practical for routine control.
Useful for label verification, supplier approval, cross-contact investigations and HACCP validation where allergen risk must be documented.
