Knowing the reasons you need to test your samples for allergens will help you when selecting a sample type and test method. Our allergen control team is standing by to assist you in defining your reasons for testing for allergens, choosing the sample types that are best to test, and selecting the detection method best suited to your specific circumstances. Contact us to arrange an online session, and download our useful FACTS-designed allergen testing resource, to help you establish and implement effective allergen controls.

FACTS is excited to announce the launch of our Food Fraud Prevention Resource Centre.

Here you will find useful tools and guides on food fraud and VACCP systems, along with regular monthly reports on the latest actual food fraud incidents. These reports can be used to support incident and horizon scanning.

Our VACCP workshop has been designed to provide you with step-by-step guidance on how to establish and manage a comprehensive and robust VACCP system that will add value to your organisation's food safety efforts.

FACTS has curated an easy-to-read infographic to summarise all the typography requirements for your food labels: what the prescribed letter sizes are for the different parts of the label, when bold font should be used, and so forth. You can use this document to double-check that your label typography is correct. It’s also a very handy tool for your Graphic Designer to use as a quick reference check when designing your food labels.

Our regulatory and nutrition team is hosting a 4-day online workshop that will give you an in-depth understanding of all the relevant regulations relating to the labelling of foods. Here you will be exposed to not only the labelling and advertising of foodstuffs (R.146), but many other regulations that also have implications for the labelling of food.

When it comes to food fraud, gelatine and collagen are not usually the ingredients that first come to mind. However, compromised authenticity of these products can create major ethical concerns. Because gelatine and collagen are widely used in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, acts of adulteration or mislabelling can have far-reaching effects – and ultimately, threaten a brand’s integrity.

Analytical testing is a valuable tool for assessing the authenticity of food products, ingredients and additives. If you are interested in testing your products for gelatine or collagen authenticity, please contact us.
