Food Testing Services
For those who work in food production and distribution, nothing matters more than making sure what you put on the market is safe and reliable. At Phoslab Testing Laboratories, that belief drives everything we do. Whether you’re a producer, supplier, or retailer, you can count on our scientists to check your goods for anything that doesn’t belong there.
Why Food Testing Matters
Every so often a headline or independent report reminds us that everyday products can carry unwanted guests: trace amounts of lead, mercury, cadmium, pesticide residues or harmful bacteria. Those findings aren’t meant to scare us; they’re a wake up call. Rigorous testing is how we protect public health and maintain the trust of people who buy our food.
Customers have also become more savvy. They want to know what’s in their food, where it came from, and whether it meets safety standards. To help you answer those questions, we’ve invested heavily in state‑of‑the‑art instrumentation and trained analysts.
What We Test and Why
Our lab can screen your products for a long list of unwanted substances. We can pick up on heavy metals like arsenic and lead, pesticide or herbicide residues, and environmental or industrial contaminants. We even check for additives that aren’t approved for use. If there’s a problem, you’ll get clear, defensible data showing exactly what needs attention.
We also stay on top of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations so you don’t have to. As rules change and new guidelines appear, our methods evolve with them. We can verify that you’re within the allowed thresholds, help confirm your ingredient lists, and support the paperwork needed to get your product on the shelves.
Chemical hazards aren’t the only concern. Bacteria and other microbes can spoil food or cause illness if they’re not caught in time. Our team can analyze moisture and pathogens like E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella. That way you can be confident your products meet both safety and quality expectations.
If your goal is accurate labeling, we can run the numbers on calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and special claims such as “gluten‑free” or “sugar‑free.” Honest labeling doesn’t just keep you out of trouble – it builds confidence with your customers.

Beyond the Lab
Sometimes the numbers tell part of the story but leave you with more questions. Which ingredients will help you avoid contaminants? Are there better manufacturing practices that could improve safety? What do those regulatory thresholds really mean for your operation? Our consultants can help you interpret the results, fine‑tune your formulations, and understand the regulatory implications.
