Food Testing Laboratory
Great Plains Analytical Laboratory provides expert analytical food testing laboratory and consulting services to a broad range of food & feed manufacturers. We offer a degree of service unequaled in the industry. Not only will your samples be processed and tested with the highest degree of accuracy and efficiency, we will provide you with the fastest turnaround time in the industry. We assist our clients in navigating the myriad of compliance requirements including, but not limited to, Federal Regulations (FDA and USDA), GFSI Certification schemes, customer requirements, specification and COA verification. We routinely perform scientific methodologies following recognized published, peer reviewed analytical protocols in performing our food laboratory testing which includes both food safety and food quality parameters. The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has given the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) new authority to review records, including details of how critical verification testing is conducted. The new FSMA-type inspections are just beginning, but it is expected that FDA investigators will be questioning the scientific validity of test results. This may lead to in-depth documentation reviews of the laboratory testing.
Customers of food and feed ingredient suppliers are also increasing their use of food testing laboratories. FSMA is increasing the pressure to understand how hazards are being controlled, monitored and verified throughout the supply chain. In many cases, it is expected that ingredients will be tested in an ISO 17025-accredited Food Testing Laboratory.
We support all clients by providing prompt, accurate and precise food laboratory testing that helps ensure the integrity and safety of their products. This includes microbiological examinations, nutritional labeling per NLEA, milling, baking, cereal, science and chemical contaminants detection. We also offer tests that can detect the presence of physical, chemical and biological adulterants. Brand protection and proactive preventive controls for food safety risks (HACCP/HARPC plan compliance) are also important components of our food laboratory testing. Great Plains Analytical Laboratory offers a comprehensive range of consultative assistance, testing and analytical services to complement and enhance your food safety management system and quality assurance programs.
