FOOD SAFETY

Ensure compliance and consumer confidence with RPC’s comprehensive food, feed, and beverage testing solutions. From accurate nutritional analysis for labeling requirements in Canada and the U.S. to advanced food safety testing that detects contaminants and ensures quality throughout production, we provide start-to-finish services backed by technical expertise and rigorous standards. Whether you need nutrient profiles, microbiological screening, or contaminant monitoring, RPC delivers reliable results to keep your products safe and compliant.

Nutritional Analysis

Most prepackaged food products sold in retail outlets in Canada and the United States require nutritional labeling. Core nutritional labels include valuable information on calories and key nutrients as defined in the Food and Drug Regulation and outlined in the Guide to Food Labeling and Advertising. Values expressed on the label must be accurate and reflect the true contents of the product; therefore, analytical testing of each product is recommended.

RPC offers complete nutritional analyses to meet Canadian and U.S. requirements. Our experienced team works with a wide range of products—from fresh foods like milk, fish, potatoes, and fruits, to processed items such as pizzas, pastries, beverages, meats, oil, and more.

We provide a start-to-finish solution: guidance on sampling and analytical requirements, precise and accurate testing, and a ready-to-print Nutrition Facts panel for your packaging.

  • Other minerals and trace metals

Food Safety

Contamination of food products is a growing concern for food producers and processors, as well as for the end consumer. Maintaining a high-quality standard from initial production through processing, down to packaging and final consumption can only be guaranteed by a robust quality system and regular monitoring.
