Ensuring food safety is critical in today’s complex, global supply chains. At Eurofins Food Testing UK, our compliance and risk management team specialise in identifying and managing food safety risks across the supply chain. Our team of experts and ISO 17025-accredited testing facilities provide comprehensive assessments to help you safeguard your operations and protect your brand from a range of potential risks; from contaminants to food fraud.
Food risk profiling and risk assessment
Our risk assessment process includes a detailed review of your supply chain to pinpoint vulnerabilities, allowing you to address them proactively. Using our advanced testing capabilities, we help manage a comprehensive suite of food safety risks including
-
Chemical risks: Identification of contaminants and residues
-
Microbiological risks: Assurance of safety, hygiene, and shelf life
-
Allergenic risks: Control and validation of allergen presence
-
Food authenticity and fraud: Detection of substitution, adulteration, and other fraudulent activities
-
Food defence: Protection against deliberate tampering and contamination
With a deep understanding of the global food environment, we also advise on environmental and social factors that may affect food supply security, ensuring your supply chain is resilient in the face of evolving risks.
Technical review of food safety hazards
Our team, composed of food industry professionals and testing experts, provides technical reviews of food safety hazards specific to your business. Leveraging their extensive knowledge, they evaluate hazards to give you confidence and peace of mind, knowing your food safety protocols are thorough and effective.
We are also able to assist with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). By focusing on prevention rather than end-product testing, HACCP helps minimise the risks of foodborne illnesses, protecting consumers and enhancing food safety throughout the food chain.
Food authenticity and fraud prevention
The increasing sophistication of food fraud, exacerbated by economic and environmental pressures, demands a proactive approach. Incidents of substitution, dilution, adulteration, and misrepresentation not only risk consumer safety but can also lead to significant reputational and financial damage.
Our experts can review your supply chains and apply their knowledge of the global arena to help you make risk-based decisions and compile risk assessments such Vulnerability Assessment and Critical Control Points (VACCP) and Threat Assessment and Critical Control Points (TACCP), as well as designing bespoke testing programmes.
