Technology now allows suppliers to harvest, preserve and distribute within a short time frame, so an incredible variety of food can now be available worldwide and year-round. Consequently food quality, consumer satisfaction, and government regulations are all factors that need to be considered when producing food.

The food we eat can contain potentially harmful chemicals, some naturally occurring, some as contaminants absorbed from soil and water. Testing these end-use products is fundamental for food safety and stability.

AXIO Proficiency Testing is proud to operate the Quality in Food Chemistry Scheme (QFCS). The scheme is specifically designed to promote quality and comparability in the measurement of a range of analytes in food products.
