Our main goal of food testing is to ensure a safe food supply. Doing so requires testing at multiple stages of food collection, preparation, packaging and storage. These services build upon our testing experience by investigating and examining microbiological factors that can affect food quality, longevity, and safety of raw materials, prepared ingredients, and finished products.

Food safety is a scientific discipline that encompasses the entire process of growing, harvesting, packing, handling, processing, manufacturing, transporting, preparing, and storing food in ways that prevent economic loss and outbreaks of foodborne illnesses.

At SQAS Laboratories, we firmly believe that taking preventive measures and ensuring adequate protection is the key to achieving better and safer food. As a result, we are the perfect choice for your analytical laboratory safety services partner.

For example, safety tests may evaluate how likely a food environment is to cause unwanted bacteria – chiefly pathogens that could cause illnesses – or spoilage in the form of yeast, mold, and lactic acids.

Beyond microbial contaminants, SQAS also has extensive experience of trace metal contamination and inorganic nutrient analysis for food ingredients and finished products.
