Industry: Food Manufacturing – Food Testing Lab
Problem: Yellow discoloration on packaged food products
Solution: A regional food manufacturer was experiencing discoloration of its sealed food products weeks before their expiration date. Due to the major impact of this product contamination on their business, the customer requested a special rush service. The products were delivered to our lab on a Friday afternoon, and FT-IR and GC chemical testing results were available on Monday morning. When the cause of the contamination was determined not to be chemically-based, Avomeen’s food testing laboratory followed up with a full-range of microbiological tests, which determined the cause of the contamination to be coliform bacteria. The customer used the report to enforce stricter sanitation practices among its employees.
