Codex CAC/GL 99 Risk Assessment for Protein Content in Foods
The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) is a joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) entity that establishes international food standards. CAC/GL 99 provides guidelines for assessing the risk associated with protein content in foods, ensuring public health and safety.
The Codex CAC/GL 99 Risk Assessment involves a thorough examination of various factors including nutrient content, processing methods, shelf life, and consumer expectations to ensure that food products are safe for consumption. This assessment is critical for identifying potential risks and implementing measures to mitigate them effectively.
Our laboratory specializes in providing comprehensive Codex CAC/GL 99 Risk Assessments for protein content in foods. We employ advanced analytical techniques and adhere strictly to international standards, ensuring accurate and reliable results. Our expertise spans a wide range of food categories, from animal-based proteins like meat and dairy products to plant-based alternatives.
Our services cater to quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams who require precise data on protein content in their products. By understanding the nuances of Codex CAC/GL 99 requirements, we help clients navigate regulatory landscapes with confidence.
The assessment process begins with a detailed review of available literature and existing guidelines, followed by sample preparation and analysis using high-precision instruments such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Results are reported in accordance with international standards, providing clients with actionable insights into protein content. This information is invaluable for optimizing product formulations, ensuring compliance with regulations, and maintaining consumer trust.
