Your Competence Centre for organic contaminants

Eurofins Food & Feed Testing India combines decades of experience with state-of-the-art technology to analyse mycotoxins and plant toxins across a wide range of food and feed matrices. Our expertise includes the homogenisation of large sample quantities, with matrix-specific requirements carefully considered to ensure representative and reliable results.

We use a wide range of specific and, where required, selective extraction and purification methods, together with advanced measurement and detection technologies. These capabilities enable the reliable detection and quantification of mycotoxins and plant toxins at trace levels, supporting food and feed businesses in meeting quality and regulatory requirements.
