Food Adulteration Analysis Information
Determining adulteration in your product
In recent years adulteration has become an increasing problem globally in the food industry and for consumers. Determining if the product has been adulterated is important for many reasons. Is the product pure; does it contain any contaminants; has it been adulterated in any way for economic reasons? Thermo Fisher Scientific has advanced instrumentation that can help in the area of food adulteration to determine the known and unknown contaminants of the food and beverage product.
Our state of the art products help labs check for the adulteration of edible oils to fruit juices and many other products. Our instruments help government agencies and contract laboratories determine if a particular product has been adulterated.
