With a recent move into a new, larger facility in Fairfield, New Jersey, SGS North America has expanded its food safety and quality assurance testing capacity for the North American food and nutraceutical markets.
The additional testing capacity at the new Fairfield facility will further accommodate the increased quality assurance testing needs of SGS clients. Testing services offered at this advanced facility includes:
- Rapid and traditional food pathogen testing, with DNA and protein-based detection methods
- Food hygiene and quality indicator testing
- Environmental monitoring in food production including pathogen and indicator testing.
Customers of the Fairfield facility will also gain access to the full range of services offered through SGS's wider laboratory network, which includes routine food microbiology and chemistry testing, pet food testing, supplement testing, shelf-life testing, nutrition testing and label verification, and testing for food allergens and other chemical contaminants.
The new facility complements SGS's existing network of ISO/IEC 17025-accredited food laboratories across North America, including facilities in Carson, California; North Sioux City, South Dakota; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
