Structural approach
Risk monitoring
Structural monitoring of contaminants is essential for reliable chain assurance, whether it concerns food, animal feed or raw (plant-based) materials.
Our monitoring programmes, based on validated analysis methods and tailored to your risk profile, provide control over variation, identify deviations in good time, and offer demonstrable compliance to auditors and/or customers.
With consistent data, transparent reporting and concrete follow-up, we effectively support business processes and objectives.
ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation
Quality
TLR is accredited and provides certificates of analysis that meet the highest standards of accuracy, reproducibility and legal validity.
Quality starts with reliable and traceable laboratory data. Only then can products be released, contamination prevented and compliance with legal and customer requirements demonstrated.
With advanced techniques such as LC-MS/MS, ICP-MS, PCR and qPCR, tailored to international standards such as GMP+, BRCGS, FSSC 22000 and ISO 22000, TLR forms the measurable foundation for quality assurance in every chain.
