Peroxide Value

Our scientific team supports dairy manufacturers with customized studies designed to generate actionable data and support informed decision-making.

Customized studies include:

• Shelf-Life Studies
  
  
• Challenge Studies
  
  
• Process Validations
  
  
• Microbial Strain Typing & Serology
  
  
• Spoilage Investigations
  
  
• Thermal Process Deviation Testing & Modeling
  
  
• Proficiency Testing Programs
  
  
• Foreign Material Identification
  
  

These studies help establish “use-by” and “best-by” dates, verify new formulations or ingredients, and confirm process controls that protect product quality and consumer safety.

In addition to laboratory testing, ANALYZETESTING LABS supports Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and Preventive Controls for Human Food (PCHF) programs. Our testing services support verification activities, including indicator organism testing, pathogen detection, and confirmation testing.

We also support broader food safety systems such as HACCP, PCHF, and GFSI platforms, helping reduce contamination risks and strengthen food safety programs.

ANALYZETESTING LABS supports food safety culture development through training and education programs designed for dairy operations.

Training offerings include:

• Audit Training for GFSI, SQF, BRCGS, and FSSC 22000
  
  
• HACCP Courses
  
  
• Microbiology & Food Safety Courses
  
  
• Sanitation Training
  
  
• FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food & Animal Food (PCQI)
  
  

Customized Training Programs

Our certification and audit services support compliance with GFSI-benchmarked food safety standards and industry best practices.

Audit services include:

• BRCGS Food Safety
  
  
• SQF
  
  
• FSSC 22000
