Description

Whether you're a food manufacturer, restaurant owner, caterer, farmer, researcher or simply want to confirm that your food products are safe for consumption, our Microbiological Analysis of Food service is designed to give you confidence in the quality and safety of your products.

At AnalysisAfrica, we test food samples for harmful microorganisms that can cause food spoilage, foodborne illnesses and product recalls. Depending on your requirements, our laboratory can analyse Total Viable Count (TVC), Total Coliform Count, Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Yeasts and Moulds, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium species and other microorganisms commonly associated with food contamination.

We analyse a wide variety of food products, including raw foods, cooked meals, dairy products, meat, fish, poultry, beverages, bottled drinks, packaged foods, fruits, vegetables, spices and processed food products.

After testing, you'll receive a comprehensive laboratory report showing the microorganisms detected, microbial counts (where applicable) and an easy-to-understand interpretation of the results. If you're unsure which microbiological tests your product requires, simply tell us about your food product and its intended market, and we'll recommend the most appropriate testing package.

Whether you're meeting regulatory requirements, carrying out routine quality control, validating shelf life or ensuring consumer safety, we're committed to providing reliable and accurate laboratory results.

Packaging Instructions

<p>Proper sample collection is essential for accurate microbiological testing. Submit approximately 200&ndash;500 g of solid food or 250&ndash;500 mL of liquid food. Place the sample in a clean, sterile, leak-proof food-grade container or sterile sample bag. Avoid opening or handling the sample unnecessarily before packaging. Refrigerate perishable foods such as meat, fish, dairy products and cooked meals during transportation. Do not freeze the sample unless instructed. Clearly label each sample with: Your name or organisation Product name Batch or lot number (if available) Date of production (if known) Date and time of sample collection If multiple products are being tested, package and label each sample separately to prevent cross-contamination.</p>

Other Instructions

<p>Deliver your sample to the laboratory as soon as possible after collection. Fresh samples produce the most reliable microbiological results. Inform us if the food has been preserved, pasteurised, sterilised or chemically treated before sampling. If you're testing food for regulatory approval, export, HACCP compliance, shelf-life studies or routine quality control, please let us know when submitting your sample. Keep chilled foods refrigerated during transport and avoid exposing samples to excessive heat or direct sunlight. If contamination is suspected, avoid opening or transferring the sample into another container before submission. Results apply only to the sample received. If multiple production batches are involved, we recommend submitting representative samples from each batch. If you're unsure how to collect or package your food sample, simply contact our laboratory before collection. We'll guide you through the process to ensure the best possible results.</p>
