The rigorous control of raw materials is a strategic issue for industries concerned with the quality of their products, especially when integrating a new supplier.
We offer complete analytical control protocols, adapted to your supplier selection criteria, including chemical and physical characterization, as well as compliance with the stated claims. This approach ensures the integrity of your supply chain and secures your product launches.
Technical disputes related to materials, whether concerning discrepancies in mechanical or chemical properties, or inconsistencies in material certificates, require in-depth expertise and precise analysis.
We intervene as an independent laboratory to conduct material audits, validate or refute conformity certificates, and provide detailed technical reports to resolve conflicts with suppliers or customers. Our analyses include spectrometric, chromatographic, and other advanced methods, ensuring solid conclusions that comply with international standards.
Mastering the chemical risk related to the presence of forbidden or strictly regulated substances, such as bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, PAHs, or other CMRs (carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic), is crucial for product compliance.
Thanks to advanced techniques and the implementation of analysis strategies tailored to your needs, our laboratory identifies and precisely quantifies these compounds, even at trace levels. Our services allow you to ensure the regulatory compliance of your products in the international market, minimizing the risk of recall or non-compliance.
A player in the agri-food industry, using flavorings in its products, faced a non-compliance issue reported by customs. The implicated batch, labeled "natural flavor," revealed the presence of compounds characteristic of artificial flavors during testing. After investigation, it appeared that the non-compliance was potentially related to cross-contamination on a production line used for both natural and artificial flavors.
Our laboratory assisted the client in managing this non-compliance by conducting a thorough investigation to identify the source of contamination and prevent its recurrence:
Detailed physicochemical analyses of the collected samples:
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to characterize the volatile compounds present.
Isotopic analysis (IRMS) to distinguish natural and synthetic flavors.
Study of manufacturing processes to identify critical points:
Analysis of production flows and batch sequencing.
Evaluation of cleaning protocols between production cycles.
Customized recommendations to improve best practices:
Optimization of cleaning and purging procedures for the lines.
Implementation of reinforced controls to ensure batch integrity.
The results of our investigations allowed the client to:
Thanks to this support, our expertise enabled the company to effectively manage the crisis and consolidate its production processes.
