Discover Food Safety and Quality

Meat & Poultry Testing

Meat & Poultry producers operate in highly diverse and complex supply chains that are tightly regulated across the globe. Processors must ensure nutritional and compositional quality across their operation, from initial screening of incoming ingredients and raw materials, to monitoring and optimizing production to maximize efficiency, to final testing of finished products to verify product release requirements. We provide state-of-the-art analytical solutions for testing and analysis of raw meats, process optimization, and verification of finished meat products. Our solutions are based on proven technologies, user friendly software, and ready-to-use methods.

What’s more, our solutions incorporate universal calibrations that cover thousands of sample types – everything from raw ham and frankfurters to salami and meatballs. So whatever type of meat products you produce, our solutions can help you reduce costs while improving quality.

Pathogen & Microbiology Analysis

Meat and Poultry are vehicles for foodborne pathogens that can be introduced at any point along the food chain such as Listeria, Salmonella, and E.coli O157:H7. To comply with stringent regulations and customer requirements, meat & poultry processors must manage potential food safety hazards and take corrective actions to actively monitor critical points in their process. PerkinElmer offers fast, accurate and validated pathogen detection tests to screen raw materials, to verify adequacy of process controls, for environmental monitoring and for final product release.
