Roy Betts
Head of Microbiology

"Our high quality advice and information is based on a detailed understanding of the microbiology of wide range of different food types. This knowledge is coupled to a first class research facility enabling the application of leading edge technologies to solve industry problems quickly and effectively.

Accredited testing gives accurate, timely information. Backed by essential data interpretation and problem solving skills, this gives clients confidence to use data on a daily basis to solve any ongoing commercial or technical issues.

In addition, our independent laboratory accreditation service, CLAS, supports reliability of analytical results for microbiological, chemical and physical testing laboratories.

We provide valuable input to the product development process, when formulations, processes and packaging issues come together to impact on product quality, safety and shelf life. Our microbiology teams work proactively with clients to optimise processing systems, allowing the safe production of new and novel leading products of very high quality."
