Food and Drinking Water
LABCO offers analytical services aimed at identifying and quantifying the chemical footprint and microbiological parameters of food and water samples including pathogenic microorganisms (such as Salmonella, Listeria, Legionella) and their toxins. It also involves identifying microorganisms responsible for spoilage (like yeasts, fungi, or molds) and conducting assessments of hygiene quality (including Total Bacterial count, Total / Fecal coliforms, Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus, Enterobacteriaceae).
Our primary objective is to enhance the safety of food, water, and other products such as cosmetics for our clients. This process ensures compliance with legal requirements and upholds the integrity of consumer brands.
LABCO carries out analyses on water and food samples according to ISO 17025-accredited guidelines, and all procedures adhere to local regulations. We also handle the collection and transportation of samples following strict food microbiology transportation protocols, in full alignment with relevant local regulations.
Hygiene, Quality, and Pathogens:
Certain commonly encountered pathogens such as Total and Fecal coliforms, toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Campylobacter spp., enter the food supply through tainted animal, fruit, and vegetable products. When these food-borne pathogens make their way to consumers, they can induce illness and severe complications that may even lead to fatalities. Even if contaminated food products are identified promptly within the food supply chain, they can still cause irreparable harm to both a brand and its manufacturer. Consequently, an agile and effective approach to detecting food-borne pathogens becomes crucial in ensuring consumer safety, adhering to regulatory requirements, and minimizing risks to the brand’s reputation.
Our comprehensive microbiological testing encompasses the detection and identification of numerous pathogenic microorganisms (pathogens), including:
- Total and fecal coliforms
- Total bacterial count
- Escherichia coli
- E. coli O157/H7
- Yeast and mold
- Legionella pneumophila
- Vibrio parahaemolyticus
- Clostridium perfringens
- Bacillus cereus
- Enterobacteriaceae
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Listeria monocytogenes
