Labelling on products

We analyse products to ensure that their composition agrees with the statements made on the packaging. We also check the instructions for use and safety warnings to ensure that the information meets legal requirements.

Animal feeding stuffs

We check

  • the presence of additives and harmful substances in animal feed stuffs
  • animal feed stuffs and pet food products for bacteriological quality.

We provide an agricultural analyst service as defined in the Agriculture Act 1970 on the National Archives website. We are an official feed control laboratory, as notified by the Food Standards Agency to the European Commission.
