FOOD TESTING SERVICES

Food safety is a growing concern in Malaysia and around the world, with serious implications for public health and trade. Issues like improper food handling, questionable preparation practices, and foodborne illnesses are receiving more public attention than ever.

To protect consumers and support industry compliance, regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Health Malaysia, USFDA, and USDA are enforcing stricter standards for both local and international food products.

At ACS Chem Lab, our team of experienced chemists and microbiologists provides reliable food chemistry and microbiological testing to help ensure your food products are safe, high-quality, and regulation-compliant.

What We Test For

Here’s a breakdown of what we analyze and why it matters:

Food Allergens

Check for common allergens like peanuts, soy, gluten, milk, etc., to ensure safe labeling and avoid allergic reactions.

Chemical Contaminants & Residues

• Pesticide residues – especially in fruits, vegetables, and grains

• Food preservatives & additives – confirm proper usage and safety

• Prohibited substances – ensure nothing banned is present
  
  

Toxins & Heavy Metals

Detect harmful substances like lead, mercury, or mycotoxins that may contaminate your food through soil, water, or processing.

Microbiological Testing

Test for bacteria, molds, and yeast that can cause spoilage or illness. We check for Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, and more.

Minerals & Vitamins

Analyze the nutritional value of your food to support health claims and product labeling.

Nutrition Facts & Labeling

We break down your food’s contents — calories, protein, fat, carbs, sugar, fiber, etc. — to create accurate, compliant nutrition labels.

Oils & Fats Testing

Includes saturated fats, trans fats, and essential fatty acids like Omega 3, 6, 9.
