Genon Laboratories, a specialist food and animal feed analysis laboratory in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, UK, has opened for business
With extensive and complex legislation governing the production and labelling of food and animal feed, it is essential manufacturers test their products to ensure compliance.
Allergens, toxins and residues in food can pose significant risks to human health, while identification of meat varieties and genetically modified food are crucial for labelling and consumer choice.
Unlike many laboratories, Genon's team of PhD level scientists conduct all testing in-house.
Services include GMO detection and meat/fish speciation plus allergen and mycotoxin quantification.
The experienced team can also adapt services and design bespoke research projects to meet client's specific requirements.
The company offers a free consultancy service where it will help businesses to devise testing regimes, appropriate to the services offered, that ensure compliance with the changing and complex legislation - invaluable for small business that may struggle to maintain the in-depth knowledge required in-house.
