Why Test Canned Foods?
There is a wide variety of canned foods with diverse flavors, covering vegetables, fruits, beans, seafood and meat, etc., which can meet various needs of consumers. The production process of canned foods involves heating the internal substances under high pressure and high temperature conditions. This step can effectively eliminate almost all pathogenic bacteria and spores, thus achieving a commercial sterile state. After sterilization treatment, the products are stored in sealed containers (such as bags and glass jars), and can maintain an extremely long shelf life even at room temperature, usually for 1 to 3 years.
Common quality risks of canned foods include pesticide residues, heavy metals, natural toxins, nutrient loss and contamination from packaging material migration. Systematic testing of canned foods helps ensure product quality, promote distribution and support the sustainability of operations.

Drug Residue Analysis
Using our food contaminant and residue testing solutions, we can identify and quantitatively analyze pesticide and veterinary drug residues (covering all common types of drugs) in the raw materials and finished products of canned foods.
Precise quantification of heavy metal residues in canned foods is carried out, including lead, inorganic arsenic, methylmercury, tin, cadmium, zinc, etc.
The commercial sterility test follows the standard process, including the detection of Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and total plate count.
Migration tests are conducted on canned foods (regardless of the material of the sealed container) in multiple aspects, including color migration, overall migration, and specific migration.
