The laboratory for microbiological food analysis at the Paris location, with its state-of-the-art equipment, is divided into 400 square metres of laboratory space.

Why Is Microbiological Food Testing Essential?

Microbiological food testing is crucial to ensure compliance with food safety regulations, prevent health risks, and protect consumer health. These tests detect harmful microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, E. coli, and other bacteria that can contaminate food products. At WESSLING France, we provide microbiological testing in accordance with ISO 17025 standards, helping you meet regulatory requirements and improve the quality of your products.
