ISO 68392 GMO Screening in Dairy Products
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published a standard known as ISO 68392, which provides comprehensive guidelines for the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in dairy products. This service is designed to help food and feed manufacturers ensure compliance with international regulations regarding GMO labeling and traceability.
Our laboratory specializes in providing accurate and reliable GMO testing services using cutting-edge technology and strict adherence to ISO 68392 guidelines. We understand the importance of maintaining transparency and ensuring consumer trust, especially when it comes to dairy products which are often a significant part of an individual's diet.
Testing for GMOs in dairy products involves several steps, including sample collection, preparation, extraction, amplification, detection, and confirmation. Our team uses advanced molecular biology techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to identify the presence of specific genetic markers associated with genetically modified organisms.
The process begins with collecting a representative sample from the production facility or raw material supplier. Once collected, the samples are prepared according to ISO 68392 specifications to ensure they represent the entire batch accurately. After preparation, we proceed with DNA extraction followed by PCR amplification of target sequences. Detection involves visualizing the amplified products using agarose gel electrophoresis.
For accurate results, it is crucial that all steps are performed meticulously and according to standard protocols outlined in ISO 68392. Any deviation could lead to false positives or negatives, affecting both regulatory compliance and consumer confidence. Our laboratory ensures these stringent measures are followed through rigorous quality control checks at every stage.
The use of this method allows us not only to detect the presence of GMOs but also provides information about their specific types and concentrations within the sample. This knowledge is invaluable for companies looking to maintain high standards in food safety, nutrition labeling, and sustainable sourcing practices.
In addition to routine testing, our service can be customized based on client needs such as frequency of tests, specific target organisms, or additional analyses like nutritional content assessment or allergen screening. By partnering with us, you gain access to expert knowledge and state-of-the-art facilities that will help your business meet regulatory requirements while enhancing its reputation for quality.
Our commitment to delivering precise results is reflected in our dedication to continuous improvement and adherence to best practices recommended by international standards like ISO 68392. We believe that through thorough testing, we contribute towards building a safer food supply chain for consumers worldwide.
