Microbiological testing of foodstuffs

We carry out the counting and research of most indicator, spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms that can be found in food products, taking into account legislative requirements (mesophiles, enterobacteria, coliforms, lactic acid bacteria, molds and yeasts, Pseudomonas spp., Escherichia coli, coagulase positive Staphylococcus, Salmonella spp, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, etc.). All tests are carried out following standardized methods (ISO, AFNOR). Consult the scope of accreditation ENAC.

Microbiological water testing

We offer the usual microbiological parameters for the control of water for public consumption according to RD 902/2018, bottled drinking water, swimming pool water and cooling towers: aerobic counts at 22ºC and 37ºC, total coliforms, Escherichia coli, intestinal enterococci, Clostridium perfringens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. All tests are carried out following standardized methods (ISO, AFNOR). See scope of accreditation ENAC.

Microbiological testing in canning

The canning industry can count on our availability to carry out the microbiological tests necessary to guarantee the safety of their products:

• Canned food stability control according to NF V 08-408. See scope of accreditation.

• Sterility control of canned food

• Isolation and identification of spoilage micro-organisms

Environmental and food handler controls

Critical points in your production process can be monitored by performing different microbiological tests:

• Microbiological control of surfaces, equipment and utensils (total micro-organisms, indicators, pathogens). 

• Microbiological air monitoring (filtration equipment) 

• Microbiological control of food handlers(Staphylococcus, Enterobacteriaceae, Salmonella)
