Testing for Sudan Dyes & Species Verification
We offer additional testing for food safety authorities to ensure their products are "true to label" and free from residue below internationally acceptable levels.
Testing for Species Verification
Many food safety authorities require food producers to certify their products "true to label".
AsureQuality's Wellington Laboratory offers testing for species verification in veterinary specimans.
Species tested - beef, deer, goat, horse, pig and sheep.
Testing for Sudan Dyes
Sudan dyes are used in food production primarily to enhance the colouring of chili pastes and powders.
Many food safety authorities prohibit the use of sudan dyes in food production, requiring producers to certify their products free from residues below internationally accepted safe tolerances.
AsureQuality’s Wellington laboratory offers testing for sudan dyes in food products.
