Solutions for food authentication
Protect your products against food fraud & adulteration
DNA AuthenticityTracker: Food authenticity testing you can rely on
Do you know what you are really selling or buying?
How secure is your supply chain?
Whether it is horse meat labeled as beef or expensive spices adulterated with cheap or even harmful material – there are ongoing issues due to food adulteration in the market. More than ever, end consumers lack trust in our food’s authenticity. Therefore, it is essential for you to reassure consumers as well as industry customers that the products you deliver are authentic and trustworthy. In order to do that, you need to check raw materials and ingredients from your suppliers, too.
Eurofins offers the possibility to detect mislabeled ingredients and end products throughout your entire supply chain. Using various DNA-based detection methods, we can authenticate a wide range of food products including different kinds of meat, fish & seafood, plants, and spices. Don’t take risks. Take full control over your products‘ authenticity.

WHY DNA AUTHENTICITYTRACKER?
Benefits of integrating
DNA AuthenticityTracker into your QC
Accelerate your QC
By using the Eurofins Food network with its large testing capacity (thousands of samples per day) and short turn-around times of only 72 hours.
Gain absolute clarity
On whether or not your raw materials or products have been subject to adulteration.
Protect your brand
By minimising costly recalls and detecting adulteration before your products hit the shelf.
Additionally, you can benefit from the largest food testing laboratory network in the market, offering a complete portfolio of food testing services beyond just DNA. For example, we are also able to test for food authenticity by ELISA (detecting proteins instead of DNA). Furthermore, we have laboratories specialised in detecting food contaminants, drug residues, pesticides, etc. Don’t hesitate to ask us questions on any other food-related testing service you might need.
