Independent food laboratory. Research of products in the Ankonian laboratory. Expert assessment of product quality

Expertise of food products is a procedure that is absolutely necessary in cases where it is not just a matter of discrepancy between the contents of the packaging and the declared quality level or other gross violations of consumer rights. Dangerous excess of nitrites or nitrates, chemically aggressive substances, pathogenic microorganisms - check food products often prevents a whole range of problems associated with high risks poisoning or causing other serious harm to health. But a simple express analysis using a tester rarely gives satisfactory results.

It will be much more effective and reliable to entrust this type of work to specialists from sanitary services.

A simple examination of water or food products, wine, or other types of goods that can be harmful to health when identifying substandard components can protect your health from serious danger. And the help of qualified experts in this case will be very useful. After all, the analysis must be carried out exclusively in a sanitary laboratory certified to perform this type of work.

Why do you need to contact the laboratory?

Checking products for quality is a rather complex process. It is, of course, possible to conduct rapid tests using regular soda - as many advise in case of doubt about the quality of milk. But they are unlikely to help identify the authenticity of the wine or prove the fact of falsification of a product under a well-known brand.

Rospotrebnadzor quite clearly points out the specifics of conducting expert research. They must be carried out taking into account established regulations. And in conclusions and when presenting reports orally, experts can tell and explain many subtleties regarding the percentage of certain substances, including dangerous, toxic or harmful to health.

Experts give advice:

An analysis by any method, be it the study of microbiological indicators of food or the search for nitrates in vegetables, should only be carried out by a specialist with experience and the necessary qualifications. It is dangerous to trust random people to carry out work based on an advertisement in a newspaper. Such “experts” often turn out to be banal sellers of expensive disposable testers.

Which products require special attention?

An examination of the quality of food products can be carried out both at the request of consumers and at the request of the manufacturer itself or supervisory authorities. Among the priority areas of research are:

seafood;
dairy products and milk;
meat and offal;
fruits and vegetables.

The use of artificial raw materials, the use of antibiotics when raising farm animals, exceeding the standards for the content of toxic and poisonous substances - all this is relevant for both meat and fish that end up on the table of the Russian consumer. Needless to say that nutritional value such “healthy” and “natural” products do not stand up to criticism. And the very first check of product quality affects the reputation of the seller or manufacturer itself.

What are the purposes of expert research?

There are many reasons to submit samples of food or the raw materials from which it is made for testing. Among the most common arguments mentioned in cases where product examination is carried out is the desire to ensure the safety of agricultural products used for food. Those same “cucumbers from the garden” are often filled with nitrates to such an extent that they cause severe allergic reactions in adults and children. And fresh meat, sold suspiciously cheaply through friends, simply did not pass veterinary and sanitary control. But stereotypes still make this product of dubious quality popular and relevant.

Timely inspection of product quality helps to identify sources potential danger, provides opportunities to identify non-compliance of their quality with the stated standards and regulations. Using laboratory testing, it is possible to identify irregularities in the composition of the product.

Where is the examination carried out?

Today, laboratory research can be carried out by both public and private organizations that have managed to obtain the necessary permits from Rospotrebnadzor. Licensed specialists conduct inspections of drinks, prepared foods, semi-finished products, examine mushrooms and berries (wild), and check grocery products to identify violations in their composition. Based on the results of the experts’ work, reporting documentation is drawn up, which sets out information about the results of the identified violations. A sanitary and epidemiological examination of dietary supplements, microbiological testing, and a search for traces of GMOs can also be performed.

I am a big fan of all sorts of quality checks and examinations. various products nutrition, because I take care of my health and try to eat only high-quality food. Moreover, I am always concerned about the question: what food can be given to children? I accidentally came across the website of Roskontrol, which conducts independent examination of products, and spent half the night on it - until I was convinced that everything I was eating was safe, I calmed down. Although, after reading their food examination results, I will now change some brands of products in my grocery basket.

I’ll say right away that some of the results of food product examinations surprised me somewhat and I would even doubt whether some brand paid for promoting its brand, but the website contains scans of documents from experts with seals, and often even a video of how the independent examination took place, so you have to trust the results. Although it is not easy to realize that the cheapest Dixie water, for example, is better than all the popular brands. And in the well-known water “Arkhyz” they discovered Pseudomonas aeruginosa and a twenty-fold excess of the normal microbial content, etc.... unexpectedly! Overall, very useful research!

As for the organization. According to the website: “Roskontrol is a non-profit partnership that unites leading research laboratories and scientific institutes in Russia….

Methods for testing and rating products are based on Russian state and international standards. The most authoritative testing laboratories and expert organizations are involved in conducting research and examinations...” Well, further on the website there is a list of reputable scientific institutes that conduct independent examination of food products.

For those who don’t have time to study all the examinations, I decided to go through their tests and write a simple list of what you can eat, what you shouldn’t eat, and what is generally dangerous and blacklisted. The company takes legal action against those manufacturers whose products do not meet quality standards and are recognized by experts as dangerous. Well, now you are more attentive to the choice of products and brands.

Since there are a lot of tests, this article will include results of examination of dairy products. Although I make kefir and cottage cheese myself, and also make homemade cheese with my own hands and advise you, this is in any case very, very necessary information. In the near future I will do similar reviews on all other products.

Today, when purchasing a product, buyers do not always look at the label, and no one even talks about the quality certificate for products. Few people know that it is possible to conduct appropriate research and do microbiological studies food products food products. For example, in the Ankonian testing laboratory.

According to famous world scientists, the main reason for the poor health of people, especially those who live in a metropolis, is the poor ecology of products. They are conventionally divided into two types: plant and animal origin. For faster growth and development, agricultural crops are generously flavored with fertilizers. They are often used in uncontrolled quantities. The quality of the land that is used for these purposes also plays an important role.

In modern enterprises and factories, dyes, preservatives, as well as flavor and aroma enhancers are widely used in production. Microbiological studies of food products confirm the negative impact of all these additives on the human body; they can cause kidney and liver diseases. Therefore, food quality control is a mandatory measure.
