Protecting Quality, Integrity, and Safety Across Australia’s Nut and Dried Fruit Sector
From farm-gate harvesting and processing to bulk storage and retail distribution, Australian nut and dried fruit producers face complex safety and quality challenges at every stage. Residues, rancidity, microbial pathogens, and packaging integrity can all compromise product safety, shelf stability, and consumer trust.
Reliable analytical testing helps Australian shellers, processors, packers, and importers verify operational controls, understand precise product composition against FSANZ standards, control food safety risks, and make confident, compliant product-release decisions for domestic and export markets.

Accredited Nuts & Dried Fruit Testing in Australia: Ensure Safety, Chemical Residue & FSANZ Compliance
Nuts and dried fruits are highly susceptible to fungal growth and mycotoxin contamination during harvesting, drying, and long-term storage. Furthermore, the use of sulfites as a preservative in dried fruits is strictly regulated under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. Mérieux NutriSciences AQ supports Australian growers, processors, shellers, and importers with comprehensive NATA-accredited testing to verify product safety, confirm chemical residue limits, manage allergen risks, and ensure full compliance across domestic retail and export markets.
