Products of Plant Origin - animal feed
The laboratory offers analyzes to counter fraud and research the composition of food products.
Food fraud can be the intentional substitution, dilution or addition of a food or industrial product with the intention of financial gain, by increasing its value or reducing its production cost, or by fraudulent advertising. by incorrect labeling. The most affected foods are: Spices, sugars, pasta,….
With respect to its labeling, the laboratory ensures the compliance of the food or animal feed product, as well as the compliance of its composition with the standards of specifications or regulations in force.
