Comprehensive Overview

Fresh and processed meat, poultry, and egg products require strict microbial pathogen screening, veterinary drug residue analysis, and spoilage testing. Our specialized testing covers Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, antibiotic residues, heavy metals, and species DNA verification in accordance with FSSAI and APEDA export guidelines.
