Filth and Foreign Materials Testing

Testing for filth & foreign material allows us to measure what is present in the sample which includes but not limited to hair, insects, feces, dirt, contaminants, manufacturing waste, and other by-products.

We screen for filth matter and foreign material in products using UV light and microscopic analyses that isolate and identify potential health hazards. Flotation techniques are also utilized in our testing in order to isolate microscopic filth such as rodent hairs, insect parts, insect eggs, and mites that may contaminate other agricultural crops.
