TOXICOLOGICAL TESTING

Toxicity tests are used to recognize and assess the effects of contaminants on biota (the community of living organisms). The individuals used in these experiments must be healthy and acclimated, and they should also have a high sensitivity to toxins and contaminants. In bioassays, a living tissue, organism, or group of organisms is used as a reagent to evaluate the effects of any physiologically active substance. The safety of substances intentionally added to food to provide a particular characteristic, such as additives (preservatives or colorants), is also assessed. The control for all of this involves establishing toxicity indices.

Acute Dermal Toxicity

The test helps to determine and classify health risks that are likely to arise from short-term exposure to a substance via the skin. In this case, the tests are performed on rats. The use of this species is due to its easy handling and manipulation, but mainly because it has an immune system very similar to that of humans.

Subchronic Toxicity

Evaluating your suppliers and processes against the specific requirements for subchronic toxicity will help maintain safety and quality throughout your supply chain. Specialized audit programs allow for a detailed assessment of risks and compliance with toxicity standards. We can assist in developing and implementing internal audit programs to ensure that all aspects of your operation meet the necessary safety and quality requirements. This includes strategies for identifying and mitigating risks related to subchronic toxicity in your supply chain.

Toxicity in Birds

Evaluating your suppliers and facilities based on bird toxicity ensures safety and quality throughout your supply chain. Our customized audit programs allow for a thorough review according to specific bird toxicity standards. We can assist in developing and implementing internal audits that enhance safety and efficiency in your operations, minimizing risks related to bird toxicity in your supply chain.

Toxicity in Aquatic Species

Evaluating your suppliers and processes in relation to aquatic species toxicity is essential for maintaining the integrity and safety of your supply chain. We offer customized audits to ensure that all aspects of your operation comply with specific toxicity standards for aquatic species. Our approach includes the development and implementation of internal audit programs to identify and mitigate risks, ensuring safety and quality in your supply chain.

Toxicity on Other Organisms

Evaluating your suppliers and facilities concerning toxicity to other organisms is key to ensuring safety and quality throughout your supply chain. We offer customized audits that analyze the potential impacts of toxicity on various organisms. We can assist in developing and implementing internal audit programs to identify, manage, and mitigate associated risks, ensuring compliance with specific standards and improving safety and efficiency in your operations.
