Vanderpol’s has ISO/IEC 17025:17 accredited laboratory covering different type of matrices related to microbiology and chemistry testing. We use Health Canada, APHA and AOAC methods approved by CFIA and USDA and FDA.
Our Microbiology and chemistry tests have multiple applications:
Product testing: Ensuring the product safety and quality for the consumer and comply with regulatory requirements.
Water Quality: Measuring the microbial quality of water to ensure it is safe for the facility
Environmental Monitoring: Assessing the effectiveness of the sanitation program of the facility through environmental swabbing
Air Quality: Examining the air quality to prevent contamination during production
ESV lab accepts samples from different food related industries and determines the right method for the facility to ensure the high quality of food products.
