The COVID-19 pandemic created a favorable environment for increased economically motivated adulteration of ingredients and finished products. Adulterated ingredients entering your product can result in serious risk for your company. How can you reduce your company's risk?

In this informative webinar, Eurofins SF Analytical scientists explain the considerations your company should factor in to mitigate risk and comply with applicable regulations including new analytical techniques to meet the ever-changing compendia (USP, EP, ACS, FCC/NF, JECFA, etc.)

Eurofins SFA is excited to now offer a new FD&C Dye Screen. The FDA approved nine artificial dye molecules for use in foods, drugs, and cosmetics (with some limitations), in addition to a variety of naturally sourced colorants.

Turmeric has faced authenticity issues as instances of economic-adulterations to reduce the cost. We used carbon-14 and HPLC analyses as complementary methods to verify “all-natural” label claims of commercial dietary supplements containing turmeric ingredients.

Eurofins SFA is excited to offer a new IgG protein analysis that provides improved sensitivity, better accuracy, and faster turnaround time relative to ELISA or alternative techniques offered.  The analysis is performed according to AOAC 2010.01.

Food fraud, also known as economically motivated adulteration, is widespread worldwide.  Food fraud involves deliberate and intentional substitution, addition, tampering or misrepresentation of food, food ingredients or food packaging, labeling, product information or false or misleading statements made about a product for economic gain.  Food fraud can adversely impact consumer health, product quality, and brand reputation.

Your goal is to manufacture a safe product that meets the claims on your label.  How are you ensuring that your finished product will do this?  Proactively, or retroactively?  Putting a proactive plan in place to assess ingredient safety and quality is key to producing finished products that meet all of your quality standards.  Having a partnership with an accredited, independent (third-party) laboratory just in case something goes wrong is a must.
