Detailed criteria regulate production environments in the food and beverage industry. These regulations are in place to ensure that consumers are safe and that quality is consistent across product batches.

In the food industry, safety testing is essential to providing high-quality products, preventing contamination and food-borne illness, and maintaining brand reputation. Food chemistry laboratories must control data from complex analyses while maintaining the highest analytical performance and regulatory standards to deliver on food safety. Meeting these standards can be arduous without a reliable laboratory information management system (LIMS).

Microbiology testing is essential to guarantee consumer safety in the constantly changing field of food safety. This post will examine the significance of microbiological testing in food and beverage production, along with typical microorganisms tested to guarantee product security.

Your food testing lab enables your business to continually keep running and satisfy your consumers. From adequately tracking samples, tests and results to conducting detailed oversight of your operational workflows, you must operate efficiently while ensuring that you comply with regulatory and good quality practices related to your products or services.

Finding an experienced and accredited third-party lab partner is vitally important in the food and beverage industry to assure consistently accurate results. There is a lot of competition, and there are many choices available to lab managers that may already be stretched thin by their job roles and duties. 

The synergy between a third-party lab partner and its ability to impact revenue is crucial to nail down. The lab and the business influence each other and affect how the lab manager handles leveraging contract testing for food and beverage needs.

As a food testing laboratory manager, managing your lab means ensuring efficient workflows with accurate data. In addition to practicing quality control (QC), you also have to carry out your processes in compliance with industry standards. Regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), and local agencies of countries to which you export may all have specific standards that you need to  follow.

The food supply chain is a system that comprises small and large domestic and foreign producers, processors, packers, distributors, and transporters with few common business practices. It is a system that is becoming more global: Fresh fruits and vegetables are now available year-round, as well as a wide array of exotic foods. These factors have increased the risk of a significant food safety incident.

An efficient QC laboratory is crucial for maintaining quality and credibility in laboratory medicine. As the sector progresses, it is imperative to simplify activities, embrace cutting-edge technologies, and cultivate a spirit of cooperation inside clinical labs. In this blog post, we will delve into key strategies that can help you transform your lab into an efficient QC powerhouse.

WILMINGTON, Del.-- LabWare Holdings today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire CompassRed, a visionary company in machine learning and predictive analytics.
