BQCIS

Ensuring Product Purity and Compliant Consumer Information

For food and nutraceutical brands, maintaining consumer trust and achieving market access relies on verifiable product purity and accurate labeling. Food Safety and Nutritional Testing ensures protection from contamination while meeting global regulatory demands from authorities such as the FDA, EFSA, and China’s NHC.

BQCIS laboratories perform highly precise analyses using advanced technologies — LC-MS/MS for chemical residues, ICP-OES for heavy metals, and ELISA/PCR for allergens and pathogens. Our integrated testing approach supports compliance from product design through export clearance.

We help manufacturers substantiate Nutritional Facts Panels, verify health claims, detect contaminants, and confirm the absence of allergens. This ensures every batch meets stringent food safety, labeling, and import requirements under ISO 17025-accredited standards.

Core Testing Services for Food Compliance

Contaminant, Residue & Allergen Testing

We provide targeted testing for pesticide residues, heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic), and mycotoxins in raw materials and finished goods, ensuring compliance with Codex and EU MRLs. BQCIS also performs high-sensitivity ELISA/PCR assays for allergen verification, confirming the absence of gluten, nuts, soy, milk, and other “Big 8” allergens in final products.

Nutritional Profiling & Label Verification

Our Proximate Analysis determines protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and caloric values per AOAC standards. BQCIS also performs vitamin and mineral quantification and validates Nutrition Facts Panels to meet the formatting and tolerance requirements of GB 28050-2025, FDA, and EU directives, ensuring complete regulatory accuracy.

Success Story

Allergen Testing Prevents Cross-Contamination Recall in Bakery

The Challenge:

A national bakery chain developing a new gluten-free line needed verified testing to prevent cross-contamination and potential recall due to undeclared allergens.

Our Solution:

BQCIS established a high-sensitivity Gluten PCR and ELISA protocol across production zones, validating both final product and environmental swabs. Detection thresholds down to 5 ppm provided scientific assurance for “gluten-free” labeling accuracy.

The Result:

The testing identified residual gluten contamination from shared tooling prior to sanitation. After corrective action, the bakery achieved verified compliance and successfully launched its gluten-free line, avoiding a costly recall and reinforcing brand trust.
