Food safety and quality are of utmost importance. Microbiology testing ensures the foods we consume are free from the harmful microorganisms – bacteria, viruses, molds, yeasts, parasites, etc. – that cause foodborne illnesses. Rigorous testing detects and quantifies these microorganisms. It provides vital information to allow food manufacturers, regulators and consumers to make informed decisions and apply risk reduction strategies that prevent outbreaks and protect public health.
