SPECIES IDENTIFICATION
Food fraud has been around for centuries with recent examples such as the use of horse meat instead of beef in Europe or substitution of alternative fish species. Today it is becoming more and more sophisticated and increasingly difficult to detect.
LIBA can offer a range of suitable methods when evaluating the authenticity and traceability of a product. Advanced biological techniques such as DNA analysis are used to support the classical physical and chemical techniques.
LIBA routinely tests for:
Beef, cow, pork, goat, sheep, horse, turkey, chicken and rabbit.
Some Neogen rapid tests also exist for an easy use with rapid results on site. Please visit our Rapid On-Site Diagnostic page.
