Contact us

Last month our Eurofins Food Testing UK's Linlithgow and Eurofins Water Hygiene Testing UK's Livingston laboratories hosted a Chartered Institute of Brewers and Distillers (CIBD) Lunch & Learn event.

The day brought together brewers and distillers for a packed programme focused on key technical challenges and emerging risks across brewing, distilling and no/low alcohol beverages.​

The event generated very positive feedback, with strong engagement throughout the day and valuable discussion and networking across all sessions.

 

A strong technical agenda​

The agenda covered a broad range of current and future topics relevant to our customers, including

  • Managing microbiological risks in no/low alcohol beverages, led by Ali Aitchison​ (Senior Food Safety Consultant at Eurofins Food Testing UK)

  • Wines and spirits authenticity testing, presented by Dr Eric Jamin​ (Business Unit Manager at Eurofins Analytics France)

  • PFAS (Per‑ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) and their relevance to food and drink, presented by Dr Helena Olsman​ (Business Unit Manager, Eurofins Sverige Sweden)

  • Contaminant risks in brewing and distilling businesses, presented by ​Ruben Thomaes​ (Intercompany Sales Manager at Eurofins Food Feed and Water Testing Benelux)

The sessions prompted insightful questions and discussion, reinforcing Eurofins Food Testing’s role as a trusted technical partner in this sector.​

The event concluded with laboratory tours at Eurofins Food Testing's Linlithgow laboratory, giving visitors a behind‑the‑scenes look at our facilities and capabilities.
