Fish & Seafood

Sectors

Fish and seafood are among the most traded food products worldwide. With the shift from wild catch to aquaculture and increasing concerns over overfishing and fraud, reliable testing is essential.

QTI Services offers DNA and PCR-based species identification to detect substitution or mislabeling. We also assess the nutritional composition of your products, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, moisture, and vitamins.

To ensure product safety and compliance with EU regulations, we test for contaminants such as pesticides, PAHs, dioxins, PCBs, heavy metals, veterinary drug residues, and even radioactive contamination. Key freshness indicators like TVB N and histamine are also part of our scope, alongside microbiological testing for E. coli, Bacillus, Vibrio spp., yeasts, moulds, and norovirus.

With QTI Services, you ensure authenticity, freshness, and food safety, from sea to shelf.
