Food Safety

Global demands for food supply have resulted in an increasing need for Food Safety in all aspects of the food chain - from the environment in which the food is grown or livestock is raised; to the food consumed by farm animals, game animals, and insects; to processing and manufacturing facilities, distribution and handling, preparation and storage methods; eventually, to food consumption by humans. Due to varying and stringent regulations across various borders, the accurate detection and quantification of contaminants in food has become a necessity. Fluka and Supelco offer a variety of analytical tools for extraction, sample preparation, and quantification of contaminants, adulterants, additives, toxins, microbes, and residues in food to meet the rigorous demands of testing for Food Safety.
