The Eurofins Food Feed Rotterdam Testing laboratory is located near the port of Rotterdam. Due to its convenient location, we can serve your large bulk shipments that enter the port quickly and accurately by ship. Whether it's animal feed, milk products, maize, palm kernel, herbs, chocolate, nuts or rice, processed or unprocessed products: we are flexible and can move with your demand. Handy, because storage in silos near the port will cost you a lot of money. And time is money too. That is why we are happy to assist you with research into contaminants, chemical analyses and organoleptic research.

When investigating contaminants, we check whether contaminants have unintentionally ended up in food products. This can happen, for example, during production, transport, storage or processing. Our lab specializes in research into mycotoxins. The best known are Aflatoxin or Ochratoxin, Deoxinivalenone and Zearalenone and Fumonisin ;. These are substances that are secreted by fungi and are carcinogenic. The law determines to what extent the substances may occur in food. For example, when transporting food in humid or warm conditions, the growth of fungi and the development of mycotoxins can be stimulated. Fortunately, you can exclude the presence of these substances with our analyses. In addition to mycotoxin analyses, the fatty acid composition (determining the type of fat), mineral oils and PAH4 analysis are also carried out in the department. We also carry out label checks for retailers, for example with regard to the quantity of saturated fats, omega 3 or omega 6. These are important parameters for many customers.

The Eurofins Laboratory in Rotterdam provides chemical analyses in the field of oils and fats in products. On this page you can find for more information about what we can offer you in regards to these chemical analyses.

Unique in the Netherlands and scarce in Europe is our ability to perform organoleptic examinations based on microscopy. This means that we can test if there are no animal components in your products, such as insects, bones and feathers. We also detect dangerous weed seeds, admixture with grains or oilseeds. In fact, everything that does not belong to the product and of which you do not normally find out that it has unexpectedly ended up in your product. This is a solution for high-risk products such as animal feed. This way you can be sure that you are producing or selling what you think you are producing or selling. And that gives you a certain feeling of security.
