Laboratory

The laboratory for chemical and microbiological analyses performs chemical and microbiological analyses of food of plant and animal origin, as well as soil tests, in accordance with the current legal regulations. In addition to the basic quality parameters, the Laboratory also performs the analyses necessary for the preparation of the nutritional declaration of the product, the control of the existing declarations of food products and animal feed, which are placed on the market.

Many years of experience, appropriate equipment and specialized staff are a guarantee that all services provided by the Laboratory will be carried out with quality and in a timely manner.
