Our Services

Technical Expertise, Marketability and Declaration

LVA can draw on a seasoned team of experts for the assessment of products and confirmation of their marketability.

Focus areas:

  • Assessments, appraisals, layout checks and translations for over 30 countries.
  • Documents such as health certificates can also be issued on request.
  • Review of labels and designs according to food legislation on request.

We perform all microbiological food-supplement tests. The examinations extend to microbiological parameters such as total plate count, salmonella, staphylococci, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, yeasts and moulds.
