Food and Feed Additives

The analysis of food and feed additives is a crucial process, especially with regard to quality and safety control, as well as the monitoring of production conditions. Our analyses ensure compliance with legal regulations and guarantee product integrity.

GLP-compliant testing for food and feed additives

Food and feed additives are ingredients that must be carefully controlled with regard to both animal health and food safety. Therefore, analysis and testing procedures must be conducted within the framework of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)).

What is GLP and why is it important?

GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) defines standards for quality, reliability, and traceability in laboratory work. GLP-compliant work provides reliable analytical results that are recognized by national and international authorities. Particularly in sensitive areas such as food and feed additives, adherence to these standards forms the basis for regulatory approval processes.

GLP-compliant Services for Food and Feed Additives

The analytical and testing work conducted under GLP includes the following:

• Residue Metabolism and Kinetic Studies: These are a crucial step in assessing the safe use of veterinary medicinal products and aim to monitor drug residues in edible tissues of food-producing animals. These studies involve a detailed analysis of how the drug is metabolized and excreted from the body over time. The studies are conducted in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) principles and the guidelines of the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
• Residue Depletion Studies: Residue depletion studies are conducted to determine whether drug residues in animal tissues fall below the established Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) over time. Based on these data, the safe consumption period for products is calculated, and the withdrawal period is determined. The entire process is conducted in accordance with GLP standards and EMA regulations.
