Food Inspection

ISO 17025 is a global standard for determining the reliability of measurement and calibration results, and is internationally accepted through a multilateral mutual certification arrangement.
We respond to our customers with reliable quality through reliability-based testing services.

The most important reason why we conduct bacteria inspections is that our objective is to improve the problems of our customers, and we respond to them as part of our helpful activities.

Our food testing (bacteria testing) is not based on the conventional culture method, but on a rapid method, which allows us to shorten the lead time from several days to several weeks.

The following two methods of specimen collection for food testing are supported.

(1) Courier service available (nationwide)
(2) Direct collection by our employees (limited to Fukuoka and Saga prefectures)

Please call us for more information. We will guide you through the collection process.

Usually about 200g is required, but some test items may require more than 200g. Please check before making a request.

In Japan, the Food Sanitation Law was established for the purpose of "preventing the occurrence of sanitary hazards resulting from eating and drinking and protecting the health of the people by taking necessary regulations and other measures from the standpoint of public health to ensure food safety. In brief, the Food Sanitation Law prohibits the sale, manufacture, preparation, or display of food contaminated with toxic substances or pathogenic microorganisms that are hazardous to human health.
However, there are many aspects that cannot be determined without food testing to see if they are harmful to human health. Also, because some standards are strictly set,

(1) Is the food contaminated with microorganisms?
(2) Are there any pesticide residues, toxic or radiological substances in the food?
(iii) Do imported foods made under different standards from those in Japan conform to Japanese standards?

and other inspections that are required for each type of food. Other food inspections may also be conducted to determine the cause of "complaints about purchased food" or "suspected food poisoning" when they occur. In addition, analysis enables accurate labeling of the content of "ingredients that should be labeled" and "ingredients that can be labeled on a voluntary basis" to comply with the mandatory labeling of nutritional content. Conducting food inspections leads to risk management and ensures "food safety and security.
