We offer an integrated supply chain solution

What if you had a partner at every stage in the chain who advises and guides you from the purchase of bulk raw materials to the final product at the retailer? Also in the port and in the country of origin? This will help you save costs, comply with laws and regulations, reduce risks and gain certainty about the quality of a raw material and its origin. A partner who thinks along with you to reduce the impact on the environment, increase speed in the chain and reduce waste. A partner who contributes to food safety and quality control. Eurofins Food, Feed & Water Testing is your knowledge partner in the field of food safety and quality. Also in the field of animal feed and (process) water. Throughout the entire chain.

A worldwide network

By following the journey from raw material, transport and production to the final product at the retailer, we gain insight into the steps in the chain. We do this by working together smartly and by linking data. Eurofins Food, Feed & Water Testing is part of Eurofins Scientific: the largest international laboratory organization and world market leader in the field of nutritional research. As a result, we have a worldwide network of laboratories with locations at 800 locations in 47 countries. In short: in the vicinity of all the places that affect your chain. With reliable professionals who speak the language and act in accordance with European legislation.

Testing in the country of origin

This makes it easy to have your raw materials checked in the country of origin before purchase. On quality and origin, for example. Or to compare raw materials with each other. With which pesticides were the least used? This gives you important control information in advance on the basis of which you can make decisions for your end product. Because the authenticity of the analysis certificates is guaranteed, duplicate tests are not necessary. And that saves time, unnecessary transport and money.

Of course, Eurofins is also available for 'loose' sampling, inspections, analyses and transport for a raw material, component, end product or composite product.

Agricultural sector

The agricultural sector delivers products that are sold directly, such as potatoes, vegetables and fruit. We test the products as quick as possible so that they are as fresh as possible on the shelft and to prevent waste. The agricultural sector also delivers raw materials that serve as an ingredient for an end product.

Storage

A batch of coffee beans often goed to storage first. If you buy a batch of raw materials or products from storage, you want to know if the quality is (still) in order. Eurofins arranges sampling and analysis.

Transport

After the purchase, the batch must go on transport. Eurofins performs an inspection on (international) transport from supplier to storage. A quality test is also a good idea after transport. It is not always clear if the quality is still the same. Eurofins can also help you with this.

Manufacturing process

Before the production process starts, you want to be sure of the origin and quality of the fabrics. Eurofins arranges sampling and analysis. A new test is also recommended after production. Is the end product correct based on the input? Or do the substances react to each other differently? In many factories, process water helps the production process. We arrange sampling and analysis for undesirable substances.

Packaging & labeling

If a package delivers substances, it will affect the quality of the product. Despite al the efforts earlier in the chain. That is why we check the packaging. Does the packaging gurantee the quality of the product it contains? And does it not release substances that are not edible, such as Mosh Moah? The product is suitable for retail if it contains information about the shelf life. Under what circumstances does the product remain well? Our challenge test provide that information

Retail & catering industry

A sample of the end product gives the retailer a definite answer about the quality. Food safety and water quality are essential for the use of the end product in the hotel and catering industry. We provide audits, inspections and advice in the field of salmonella and legionella prevention.

The consumer

The ultimate goal has been achieved: a safe and high-quality end product for the consumer. An end product with all important information, correctly on the label.
