Eurofins Botanicals, Inc and LeafWorks Partner to Elevate Functional Mushroom Testing
Functional mushrooms are rapidly emerging as a powerhouse category in the natural products industry. In 2023 alone, Lion’s Mane accounted for over 25% of North American functional mushroom supplement sales—a clear signal of growing consumer interest. But with rising demand comes increased scrutiny, especially in global supply chains where mislabeling and adulteration remain persistent challenges.
To address this need for greater transparency and product integrity, Eurofins Botanicals Inc has partnered with LeafWorks to offer Mushroom Species DNA ID Tests. These cutting-edge, species-specific qPCR assays enable fast and accurate identification of mushroom species in raw materials, blends, and finished goods—empowering manufacturers to confidently support label claims, meet 21 CFR Part 111 compliance, and uphold quality standards across the supply chain.
“We’re excited to expand our robust testing portfolio with these advanced ID assays,” said Marisa Feller, President of Eurofins Botanicals. “This partnership strengthens our ability to serve clients and support the continued growth of the functional mushroom sector.”
By combining LeafWorks’ precision DNA testing with Eurofins’ comprehensive analytical capabilities—including HPTLC, microscopy, adulterant screening, microbiology, and contaminant analysis—this collaboration delivers a powerful layer of assurance for the safety, quality, and authenticity of mushroom-based products.
