Comprehensive contamination detection and monitoring
Detection and monitoring of adulterants like melamine in food products.
Details
Melamine is an adulterant frequently found in plastic materials, and because of its high nitrogen content (over 60%), it has historically been used to falsify protein levels in food.
In the 2000s, melamine was identified in products such as milk, yogurt, wheat and rice protein, resulting in serious health problems, including animal and human deaths.
Importance of Melamine Testing
Consumer safety: Protect your customers from dangerous adulterants.
Regulatory compliance: Meet international and national food safety requirements.
Brand credibility: Strengthen consumer confidence in your products.
Detection of toxic fungal metabolites including aflatoxins, fumonisinas, zearalenone and ochrato.
Details
At FoodChain ID, we perform mycotoxin analysis to ensure the safety and quality of food and animal feed. Mycotoxins pose a serious health risk, with toxic effects that can harm human and animal health. Our testing covers the main regulated mycotoxins, such as aflatoxins, fumonisins, zearalenone, ochratoxins, and deoxynivalenol, and strictly adheres to the limits established by international regulations, such as ANVISA’s RDC 722/22 and the European Union’s Regulation (EC) No. 1881/2006.
Detection of pathogenic bacteria and spoilage organisms in food products.
Details
Microbial activity can pose a major threat to the quality and safety of most food products. Microbiological analyses are essential for ensuring and monitoring product quality and protecting the public from potentially harmful microorganisms.
ANVISA, through Resolution RDC 724/22 and IN 161/22, establishes sanitary microbiological standards for food and sets the criteria for the conclusion and interpretation of the results of microbiological analyses of food intended for human consumption.
To screen for and detect microorganisms in food, FoodChain ID Análises uses official methodologies and relies on a qualified multidisciplinary team equipped with the best analytical solutions on the market.

FAQ
FoodChain ID offers contaminant testing services in Brazil including microbiological testing, mycotoxin testing and food adulteration testing. These food safety testing services help manufacturers detect pathogens, mycotoxins in food, melamine contamination and other food contaminants that may impact product safety, quality and regulatory compliance. These testing programs can also support companies seeking food safety certification and compliance with market requirements.
Contaminant testing is a type of food safety testing used to identify harmful substances in food products, ingredients and production environments. Food contaminant testing may include microbiological testing, pathogen testing, mycotoxin testing, melamine analysis and food adulteration testing to help manufacturers reduce contamination risks and support food safety compliance. Depending on the product category, contaminant monitoring may also include pesticide residue testing as part of a comprehensive food safety program.
Contaminant testing helps food manufacturers identify biological, chemical and adulterant-related risks that may impact consumer safety and regulatory compliance. Through microbiological analysis, mycotoxin testing, pathogen testing, and food contaminant testing, companies can help prevent recalls, improve product quality and strengthen food safety programs across the supply chain. Effective testing programs also support compliance with standards such as FSSC 22000 certification.
Microbiological testing helps detect bacteria, pathogens, yeast, mold and other microorganisms that can contaminate food products during processing, storage or distribution. Microbiology testing and microbiological analysis support food safety testing programs by helping manufacturers identify contamination risks early and maintain safer production environments. These controls are commonly incorporated into food safety management systems aligned with BRCGS certification requirements.
Microbiology testing focuses specifically on detecting microorganisms such as Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, yeast and mold in food products and production environments. Food contaminant testing has a broader scope and may include microbiological testing, mycotoxin analysis, melamine analysis, food adulteration testing, chemical contaminants and other food safety risks. A comprehensive contaminant control strategy may also include pesticide residue analysis and other targeted testing services.
Mycotoxin testing and mycotoxin analysis are commonly performed on grains, nuts, cereals, coffee, spices, dairy products, animal feed and processed foods. Because mycotoxins in food can develop during cultivation, storage and transportation, food safety testing helps manufacturers monitor contamination risks and support regulatory compliance requirements. Producers and suppliers involved in feed production may also benefit from animal feed certification programs that support quality and compliance objectives.
Food adulteration testing helps identify unauthorized substances, ingredient substitution, dilution and contaminants that may compromise food safety and product integrity. Combined with contaminant testing, melamine analysis, microbiological testing and food safety testing, food adulteration testing helps manufacturers reduce fraud risks and protect consumer trust. Companies can further strengthen their prevention programs by leveraging tools such as the Food Fraud Database to identify ingredient vulnerabilities and emerging fraud risks.
