Food & Beverage Testing

Food & Beverage Analytical Testing

Microbiology, pesticide residues, heavy metals, mycotoxins and process-water quality — the safety and quality testing that protects your product and your brand.

Core Concerns

What Food & Beverage Makers Test For

Microbial Safety

Coliform, E. coli and spoilage organisms across product and environment.

Residues & Toxins

Pesticide residues, mycotoxins and heavy metals that carry regulatory limits.

Process Water

Water quality for ingredient, cleaning and process use.

Safety and Quality Your Brand Depends On

Food and beverage producers come to IAS for the contaminant, microbiological and water testing that keeps product safe, compliant and consistent — without a complicated onboarding.

We screen for pesticide residues, mycotoxins and heavy metals, run the microbiology that flags contamination, and verify the water that touches your product.

Single-batch questions and recurring quality programs are equally welcome, and we supply the sampling materials you need.

  • Microbiology — coliform, E. coli & spoilage organisms
  • Pesticide residue screening by GC-MS
  • Heavy metals in product by ICP-MS
  • Mycotoxin analysis
  • Process- and ingredient-water quality

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you test for pesticide residues in food?

Yes. GC-MS screening covers a broad range of pesticide residues in food and beverage products.

Can you check heavy metals like lead and arsenic in product?

Yes — ICP-MS quantifies lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury and a full heavy-metal panel at trace levels.

Do you run microbiology for coliform and E. coli?

We do, along with spoilage organisms and environmental monitoring to support your sanitation program.

Can you test our process and ingredient water?

Yes. We run full water-quality panels on process, ingredient and cleaning water.

Custom & flexible work

New Product, New Question

A novel ingredient, a shelf-life question, an unexpected off-flavor or contaminant — food and beverage problems are often one-of-a-kind, and we will scope custom testing to match. No account needed to start.
