Ensure beverage quality with specialist testing from Eurofins.
At Eurofins Food Testing UK, we provide specialist testing methods for beer, spirit products (e.g. ready-to-drink RTD and low alcohol), cider, wine, kombucha and soft drinks and support producers in maintaining the highest product quality standards. Our services help to safeguard product integrity at every stage, from development through to final release.
Why test?
- Undesirable microorganisms can cause spoilage, off-flavours, hazes, or even pose safety risks.
- Legal compliance e.g. for HMRC
- Improved hygiene will result in better quality and more efficient, consistent production with favourable organoleptic qualities, improved shelf life, reduced waste and decreased customer complaints.
- Improved quality will ensure customer satisfaction and a positive public image which in turn encourages repeat custom and improved sales and profits.
