Securing Integrity Across Australia’s Ingredients & Additives
Food manufacturers must ensure that all functional ingredients and additives, including preservatives, synthetic and natural colourings, antioxidants, emulsifiers, and intense sweeteners, strictly comply with the maximum permissible limits mandated by the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. Verifying raw material purity, origin authenticity, and freedom from chemical residues or heavy metals is essential to protect consumer health and prevent costly regulatory delays. Mérieux NutriSciences AQ delivers expert analytical testing to help growers, importers, and processors verify the legal compliance and functional performance of their raw ingredients before production even begins.

From Raw Material to Retail: Eliminate Compliance Risk in Food Additives
From raw agricultural inputs to specialised food additives, building superior food products relies on uncompromised raw material quality. Ingredient formulators and manufacturers face ongoing risks from batch-to-batch variation, heavy metal accumulation, pesticide carryover, micro-contaminants, illegal adulterants, and mis-declared additive concentrations.
Reliable analytical testing empowers Australian ingredient suppliers, processors, and food manufacturers to verify exact raw material composition, confirm additive levels against FSANZ Schedule 15 specifications, guarantee allergen controls, and make confident, compliant production decisions for domestic and export markets.
