Micro
The annual number of recorded cases of bacterial food poisoning in England and Wales has risen from around 10,000 per year in 1980 to around 50,000 in 1995. As many cases go unreported this is undoubtedly just the tip of the iceberg. The considerable public concern in the late 1980s about the increasing incidence of food-borne infection was one of the principal factors which led to The Food Safety Act 1990. Food manufacturers and producers under the act are required to show due diligence.

Precision Analysis can take care of all the microbiological aspects of your due diligence defence from designing an effective sampling regime to rapid reporting of high counts and positive results.

An effective due diligence defence includes microbiological assessment of:
  • Enumeration of Spoilage Organisms
  • Presence or Absence of Food Poisoning Organisms
  • HACCP Analysis
  • Product Shelf Life
  • Water Quality
  • Product Storage Conditions
