Laboratory Testing of Ready-to-Eat Foods
Objective of Laboratory Testing
Microbiological testing of ready-to-eat foods is an essential prerequisite for monitoring product safety and ensuring compliance with the requirements of EAEU technical regulations.
Such testing constitutes an integral part of the food safety management system, confirming the suitability of ready-to-eat products for safe human consumption.
Key Test Parameters
Within the scope of testing, the microbiological safety key parameters established by the EAEU technical regulations are assessed, including:
MICROBIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS
Gemini said• Determination of the total count of Mesophilic Aerobic and Facultative Anaerobic Microorganisms (MAFAM)• Determination of Coliform Bacteria (coliforms)• Determination of Yeasts and Molds• Determination of Staphylococcus aureus• Detection of Salmonella spp.• Detection of Listeria monocytogenesAnd Other microbiological Parameters
Provision of Test Results
Based on the test results, the laboratory issues an official test report.
Declaration Process
The test report issued by “FDA Laboratory” LLC is an official document that enables the organization of the product declaration process.
“FDA Laboratory” LLC cooperates with the Product Certification Body of “Certification and Quality” LLC, which, within the scope of its accreditation, issues EAC or AST (Technical Regulation of Armenia) Declarations of Conformity.
