Nutritional values
Consumers increasingly value the nutritional values of foods. They want to know exactly what they are ingesting. Whether it’s bread, peppers or cookies. Communicating the contents and nutritional values clearly helps you to be transparent. That is why Normec Groen Agro Control offers several services to analyze and check the contents and nutritional values of your products.
Toxins
For us, the safety and quality of food is paramount. That’s why we offer comprehensive analyses to detect and identify various types of toxins and contaminants in AGF and other horticultural products. We’d like to give you some of the common toxins we test for.
PFAS investigation
Since January 2023, new legislation has been in force regarding the maximum amount of PFAS in certain foods. To demonstrate compliance with this legislation, you must have PFAS testing carried out. However, soil and water analysis is also essential. We are the first commercial laboratory in the Netherlands to analyze PFAS in food, animal feed, soil, and water under accreditation.
Alkaloids
Alkaloids occur naturally in potatoes, vegetables, and fruit. Some can be toxic in high concentrations. With reliable testing by Normec, you can accurately measure alkaloid levels to ensure food safety and quality.
Pests and diseases
Is your crop showing abnormalities and you can’t explain them directly? Then you would like to know whether this is due to a pathogen, a pest or a nutrient deficiency. Our diagnostics service helps you identify the cause of the problem. Normec detects the most common diseases and pests, analyzes which contaminants such as pesticides are in your crop or end product and gives you advice.
Risk analysis
Food safety is essential in the food industry. With a risk analysis from Normec, you identify potential hazards such as contamination and pollutants. This allows you to take targeted measures to ensure food safety and reduce health risks.
Hygiene
Hygiene plays a central role when it comes to food. From the grower to the products in the store. It is not only about growing healthy crops, but also about ensuring the safety of the food that eventually ends up on our plates. Ensuring hygiene practices during all stages of food production, processing, storage and distribution is essential to protect consumers from food-related illnesses and to meet strict food safety standards and regulations.
Additional pesticide analyses
In addition to screening for pesticides present in food, agricultural products or other materials, we can perform additional analyses. Using these additional pesticides, which are analyzed in a different way from the screening, we can measure specific substances.
Screening
At Normec, we systematically screen for residues and pesticides to ensure the quality and food safety of your products. This helps you meet standards and deliver safe goods.
Skal Biocontrol
Skal checks if organic farms comply with regulations. Normec supports you in obtaining and maintaining this key certification, helping you meet the growing demand for organic products.
QS
The QS (Qualität und Sicherheit GmbH) certificate is a valuable certification that represents food safety standards and ensures transparency and traceability throughout the entire production and distribution chain. At Normec, we understand the importance of this certification and help and support customers in obtaining and maintaining the quality mark.
