Microbiology
While in some foods microorganisms are beneficial, in other products they can be hazardous. They can lead to spoilage and in the worst case, endanger public health. With microbiological analysis of your products, we assure their harmlessness and marketability.
Microbiological Testing - Why Is It Necessary?
Microbiological testing is an important process in the food industry. Here are the main reasons why:
- Ensuring food safety: Microbiological testing helps detect the presence of bacteria, fungi, viruses, toxins, and other microorganisms that can cause food poisoning or infectious diseases when consumed.
- Protecting public health: This testing helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases caused by microorganisms such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria in food products and drinking water.
- Compliance with legal regulations: In Vietnam, QCVN 8-3:2012/BYT sets the standards for microbiological safety in food. Similarly, the EU has regulation EC 2073/2005, and in the United States, the USDA FSIS and FDA also regulate food safety criteria.
- Maintaining product quality: Regular microbiological testing helps manufacturers control the production process, prevent contamination, and ensure stable product quality.
