6. Candy Testing
While an occasional candy bar can be part of an otherwise
healthy diet, eating candy regularly can negatively affect
your health. Too much candy can provide you with large
amounts of unhealthy substances, such as sugars and fats.
Alfa Chemistry Testing Lab is the world's leading third-
party testing company, which provides customized candy
testing solutions for manufacturers and consumers
according to industry standards.

7. Coffee Testing
Improving quality is crucial to sustaining consumption in
the long term and adding value to coffee. The Coffee
Quality-Improvement Programme (CQP) contributes to
improved food safety. Under the CQP moisture content
should not fall below 8% or exceed 12.5% and there should
be no more than 86 or 150 defects per 300g sample of
Arabica and Robusta coffee respectively. The International
Coffee Organization (ICO) also discourages trading coffee
with less than equivalent of 95% green coffee as the basic
raw material. Alfa Chemistry Testing Lab is the world's
leading third-party testing company, which provides
customized coffee testing solutions for manufacturers and
consumers.

8. Biscuit Testing
Biscuit business is totally dependent on manufacturers'
reputation. That reputation rests solely on the taste of
every biscuit that moves from bakery to retailer shelves.
Safeguarding health and safety is an inevitable measure
for biscuit companies to improve competitiveness. Different
countermeasures should be taken to address different
quality issues. Many manufacturers pay lip service to
quality control. Alfa Chemistry Testing Lab is the world's
leading third-party testing company, which has a fully
staffed Cookie Quality Control Department. Their
jurisdiction is to make absolutely sure manufacturers
produce consistently high-quality biscuit.

9. Tomato Products Testing
Processed tomato products are an important source of
minerals and vitamins in the diet of U.S. consumers. In
addition to nutritive value, the color, consistency, and flavor
are the major quality attributes of processed tomato
products which influence the buying behavior of the
consumer. Alfa Chemistry Testing Lab is the world's
leading third-party testing company, which provides
customized tomato products testing solutions for
manufacturers to make absolutely sure manufacturers
produce consistently high-quality products.

10. Dairy Testing
As a nutritional product, dairy products are an important
part of food safety and are closely related to consumers'
lives and health. The quality and safety of dairy products
include two aspects, one is to ensure hygiene safety, and
the other is to ensure nutritional safety. In order to reduce
the asymmetry of dairy product quality information, the
testing company can reveal quality and safety information
as a reliable and trustworthy third party. Alfa Chemistry
Testing Lab engages in safeguarding the integrity and
transparency of the dairy supply chain to ensure the safety
and quality of milk and dairy products.

11. Beverage Testing
The success of beverage products that are distributed and
sold hinges on ensuring the quality and safety of the
product at all times. Every year, hundreds of beverages get
recalled due to safety concerns. In addition, according to
CDC research, 1 in 6 Americans contract an illness from
food or beverage sources each year. To safeguard the
quality of beverages supplied to the market, manufacturers
must ensure compliance of the product’s components,
packaging, and production processes at every stage. Alfa
Chemistry offers expert testing and quality control solutions
for all categories of beverages, helping brands and
retailers preserve product quality from factory to shelf.

12. Meat Product Testing
Food safety, nutritive value, meal convenience and
appearance play an important role in determining whether
consumers purchase meat. However, it is the eating
experience or the quality of the meat product purchased that
influences the consumer to repurchase that particular meat
product. Meat quality is normally defined by the
compositional quality (lean to fat ratio) and the palatability
factors such as visual appearance, smell, firmness, juiciness,
tenderness, and flavour. The nutritional quality of meat is
objective yet "eating" quality, as perceived by the consumer,
is highly subjective. Alfa Chemistry offers expert testing and
quality control solutions for all categories of meat products,
helping manufacturers and retailers preserve product quality.

13. Refrigerated and Frozen Food
Testing
Fresh foods get deteriorated quickly due to various reasons.
Freezing is one of the most common food preservation
processes used for storage of foods. Freezing usually
retains initial quality of products. However, during freezing
and frozen storage, some physical, chemical and nutritional
changes may occur. Every year, thousands of callers to the
USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline aren't sure about the
safety of items stored in their own home freezers. Alfa
Chemistry Testing Lab is the world's leading third-party
testing company, which provides customized refrigerated
and frozen food testing solutions for manufacturers and
consumers.

14. Seafood Testing
As with other perishable foods, foodborne illness caused
by microorganisms or naturally occurring toxins is the
primary food safety risk associated with seafood. Illness is
usually associated with improper harvesting, handling,
storage or preparation. Those seafood products that are
consumed raw or partially cooked represent the highest
risk. Other risks associated with environmental
contaminants could be a concern for some individuals
especially those who catch and eat their own fish or
shellfish from lakes, rivers, streams or bays or harbors that
are contaminated by environmental pollutants. Alfa
Chemistry Testing Lab is the world's leading third-party
testing company, which provides customized seafood
testing solutions for consumers to enjoy the safest seafood
possible.

17. Condiment Testing
Condiment refers to auxiliary food that can increase the
color, aroma and taste of food, promote appetite and is
beneficial to human health. Condiment as the ingredients of
daily cooking, the market demand is relatively stable, there
is no obvious cyclical, seasonal characteristics. However,
people have a greater demand for the convenience,
nutrition and health of condiments, which leads more
condiment enterprises to upgrade their products. Alfa
Chemistry Testing Lab is the world's leading third-party
testing company, which provides full range of testing
services for the entire product chain to help manufacturers
accelerate the process of upgrading new products.

20. Pet Food Testing
Pet food and its ingredients are susceptible to all of the
same biological, chemical, and physical contaminants that
can threaten human consumables. The death of any pets
due to contaminated food is devastating to the people that
love them. Contaminated pet food also poses a health risk to
people that handle it, or may even eat it, for whatever

21. Fast Food and Snack Testing
While most fast foods and snacks are based on cheap,
unhealthy ingredients, many fast-food establishments now
offer healthy alternatives. Some major chains even focus
exclusively on providing healthy fast food. Similarly, if a snack
product tastes good and the company is committed to
maintaining those qualities, the item will probably remain in the
marketplace. Alfa Chemistry Testing Lab is the world's leading
third-party testing company, which provides customized fast
food and snack testing solutions for manufacturers and
consumers according to industry standards.

22. Canned Food Testing
A wide array of canned foods are available in surpermarkets
today, and for many families, these foods can help make quick
and convenient meals. Canning food helps prevent
microorganisms from growing in a number of ways. The food is
heat processed at very high temperatures to destroy
microorganisms, and vacuum-sealed to prevent new
microorganisms from entering the cans. as with all foods, even
canned foods can pose a potential food safety risk if damaged,
mishandled for improperly stored. Alfa Chemistry Testing Lab
is the world's leading third-party testing company, which
provides customized canned food testing solutions for
