Your CBD and hemp-derived multiple-use cosmetic and personal care products that contain preservatives need to be tested to assure the preservation, or antimicrobial action is adequate to fight the introduction of microorganisms.
Does your food or supplement package contain translucent packaging? If so, your product and its ingredients could be susceptible to photochemical changes. This infographic illustrates the mechanics of photostability studies as well as the key attributes and product types impacted by light exposure.
The Eurofins network of laboratories has multiple laboratories that have been specifically outfitted to meet customer's needs for shelf life and product stability testing.
Here we are in the third post of a series focusing on pet food, pet treat, and pet supplement testing considerations. We have explored guaranteed analysis and other testing considerations such as shelf life and microbes. This time around I’ll expand on a topic that people often view as less a food safety issue and more of a palatability issue: Rancidity.
This series is focused on getting new pet food, pet treat, and pet supplement businesses headed down the right path.
Not all rancidity tests are equally appropriate. Here are some helpful hints regarding how each test is performed, what it reveals, limitations and which may be more important for a given scenario.
In this digital conference Eurofins experts, industry partners and food safety thought leaders guide attendees through a discussion of the latest solutions and controls for persistent pet food manufacturing issues.
