Food Microbiological Testing

Here at Intertek, we understand that the risk of microbiological contamination is a constant challenge for many businesses within the food supply chain. From our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, our world-class microbiologists use the latest methods to accurately test for the full range of potentially harmful food-borne micro-organisms, including pathogens like Campylobacter, Salmonella, E.coli, Shiga toxin-producing E.coli (STEC) and Listeria, along with spoilage organisms such as Yeasts and Moulds.

Our specialists can also develop and carry out shelf-life and challenge testing for your products.  To ensure that products are safe once they reach the market, our testing services help to determine if food is safe to consume and free from harmful micro-organisms; testing the full product life cycle including once the packaging has been opened. 

Fast and accurate testing and analysis, coupled with the utilisation of globally recognised practices and processes through certifications like Food Safety System Certification (FSSC22000), ISO22000, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), can help to demonstrate your commitment to food safety and reduce the risk of product recalls. 

Intertek is the partner you can trust for this critical service. With our experience, expertise and cutting-edge facilities, you can minimise the risk of microbiological contamination, protect your customers and your brand and ensure that you fully comply with all relevant food safety regulations.
