This food authenticity test verifies and determines the origin of the poultry, meat, plant or seafood species in food products as a method to prevent food fraud and ensure the safety of the food product.
Using DNA techniques, a wide range of species originating from fish, insect, plant and meat can be detected.
Our Multiplex PCR testing method allows for the rapid detection of up to five different meat species simultaneously.
