Comprehensive Overview

Seafood exports require strict compliance with international buyer limits (USFDA, EU, EIC). Our laboratory tests fresh and frozen fish, shrimp, prawns, crabs, and squid for banned antibiotic residues (Nitrofuran metabolites, Chloramphenicol), toxic heavy metals (Mercury, Lead, Cadmium), Histamine biogenic amines, and marine pathogens (Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus).
