Egg Authenticity Testing
From organic status and lion code compliance to vitamin content and farm origin verification, we offer analytical services to help you substantiate egg labelling claims and protect your brand.
What we test
Egg labelling claims are increasingly scrutinised by regulators, retailers and consumers. Our testing services cover the full range of due diligence requirements, giving you the evidence you need to trade with confidence.
Vitamin and selenium verification
We offer analytical verification for Vitamin D3, 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D3, Selenium, Vitamin A, B6, B12 and Folic Acid labelling claims, giving you robust evidence to support nutritional marketing.
Organic status testing
We use carotenoid profiling to verify organic labelling claims, confirming the absence of synthetic carotenoids that should not be present in certified organic eggs.
Supporting the pursuit of Lion Code compliance
We screen for canthaxanthin, a synthetic carotenoid prohibited as a feed additive under the UK Lion Code scheme, supporting your due diligence and retailer requirements.
Farm origin verification
Using stable isotope analysis of oxygen isotope ratios from farm water and liquid albumen, we can verify whether eggs originate from the farm stated on the label.
