Results can be provided using data from one to several sets of sample analysis; using statistical techniques we can show varying degrees of diligence as required. Others suites of analysis include meat contents, added water determinations. Therefore fully assured nutritional labels for customer products can be determined and advice on issues such as the FSA traffic light labeling scheme can be given (see Traffic light labeling).

Individual tests such as salt determinations, collagen analysis, water activity, pH etc… can be carried out as required. The full list is too numerous to mention but details can be obtained by contacting one of the sales representatives.
