Physico-chemical analysis
The main purpose of physico-chemical analysis is to ensure consumer safety. The analysis makes it possible to exclude food products that are hazardous to human health and life.
Physico-chemical food analysis makes it possible to exclude the presence of contaminants or the possibility of marketing food products with concentration ranges of these substances exceeding the permitted dose. They are also giving confirmation of the information declared by the manufacturers about the lack of gluten, lactose and other allergens and the presence of the desired nutrients.
Thanks to reliable, independent analysis, our experts create the base for safe food evaluation. Wessling Polska upon your request performs analysis such as:
- Nutritional value analysis
- Food contamination analysis
- GMO research and identification of animal species
- Allergen tests
The most modern laboratory equipment and the effectiveness of our technologies guarantee our clients obtaining results always on time.

Nutritional value
Nutritional value
The nutritional value informs to what extent food product or prepared dish meets the organism's metabolic needs.
The guidelines and recommendations on label foods with nutritional value include Rozporządzenie Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady (UE) nr 1169/2011 z dnia 25 października 2011 r. w sprawie przekazywania konsumentom informacji na temat żywności.
The physico-chemical food analysis of nutritional value gives information about the nutrients content in the product, such as: protein, fat, fatty acids, carbohydrates, sugars, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The information about nutritional value provided on the product label helps consumers to make a conscious decision.
OUR OFFER
- Delivery of appropriate containers for self-sampling by the customer (WESSLING-box)
- Accredited physico-chemical analysis of nutritional value including: protein, fat, fatty acids, carbohydrates, sugars, fiber, vitamins, minerals
- Report with analysis results

Food contamination
Food contamination
During the production process food is exposed to be contaminated by undesirable substances. Manufacturing, packaging, transport and storage - each of these stages carries different risks that may make it not good for consumption.
Physico-chemical food contamination can lead to acute poisoning and long-term diseases, therefore WESSLING Polska performs food contamination analysis for clients in accordance with the applicable legal requirements contained in the following regulations.

The regulation contains a list of substances, which can contaminate food products, their permissible concentrations and information when the product is not good for placing on the market.
Rozporządzenie (WE) nr 396/2005 Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady z dnia z dnia 23 lutego 2005 r. w sprawie najwyższych dopuszczalnych poziomów pozostałości pestycydów w żywności i paszy pochodzenia roślinnego i zwierzęcego oraz na ich powierzchni, zmieniające dyrektywę Rady 91/414/EWG
This regulation broadens the topic of contamination such as pesticide residues in food and feed.
OUR OFFER
- Accredited sampling for laboratory analysis
- Delivery of appropriate containers for self-sampling by the customer (WESSLING-box)
- Accredited analysis of physico-chemical parameters, such as: heavy metals, mycotoxins, PAHs, dioxins, pesticide residues
- Report with analysis results

GMOs and animal species identification
GMOs and animal species identification
GMOs are genetically modified organisms created as a result of interference with the plant or animal genome. Being aware of the controversy surrounding this topic, producers are eager to declare the absence of GMOs in their products.
Genome interference is still a controversial topic, so the products packages often include the information that genetically modified ingredients have not been used in the production. The declaration of GMO-free products, which is used by food producers, is not only an advertising slogan and must be confirmed by test results. Especially that the presence of GMOs in the product exceeding 0.9% also requires informing the consumer.
The guidelines for the labeling food and feed with GMOs are set out in Rozporządzenie nr 1830/2003 Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady z dnia 22 września 2003 r. w sprawie możliwości śledzenia i znakowania organizmów genetycznie zmodyfikowanych oraz możliwości śledzenia żywności i produktów paszowych wyprodukowanych z organizmów genetycznie zmodyfikowanych i zmieniające dyrektywę 2001/18/WE i w Rozporządzeniu nr 1829/2003 Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady z dnia 22 września 2003 r. w sprawie genetycznie zmodyfikowanej żywności i paszy.
We also perform a test of animal species identification. The need to identify the species of meat is dictated by health, religious and commercial reasons. Replacing the declared, more expensive type of meat with its cheaper counterpart is a form of fraud and extortion. It can also be dangerous for consumers with allergic reactions. For this reason, it is necessary to check the products placed on the market. Our specialists will help you to protect the quality of your products.
OUR OFFER
- GMO analysis using molecular biology techniques, including basic screening (35S promoter, NOS-terminator and FMV promoter)
- Screening for VLOG certification, which is a proof that a product is without genetically modified organisms and without vitamins, flavors and enzymes produced with their help.
- Identification of animal species using the PCR technique, which can determine the species of meat
- Report with analysis results
