As sure as can be – Eurofins Assurance

This article is part of a new series on Eurofins’ testing services.

Globalisation means that product parts or finished goods may have travelled around the world, at various stages of production, before they end up in your possession. The more steps in a product supply chain, the greater the risk of something going wrong.

Eurofins Assurance companies provide product inspection, audit, certification, training, and consulting services to customers in the food, consumer products, healthcare, and cosmetics industries, to help protect them from potential supply chain risks.

Potential risks are complex and not always apparent to the manufacturers or retailers involved. For instance, their suppliers may have used forced labour or fraudulent raw materials, followed improper chemical management policy, or otherwise not complied with legal obligations.

With services from Eurofins Assurance, manufacturers and retailers can refine their processes and optimise their supply chain, ensuring safe and quality goods that are compliant with international regulations, stringent market requirements, and consumer expectations.

Consumer product inspection

Eurofins Assurance companies inspect a broad range of consumer products at different stages of production to ensure quality, safety, and compliance with regulations.

Food labelling

Accurate food product labelling is of the utmost importance for consumers. Eurofins Assurance helps food producers to fulfil food labelling requirements for allergens, nutrition, and health claims.

?

Social and environmental audits

Inspectors from Eurofins Assurance carry out audits at suppliers’ factories and manufacturing sites to evaluate their compliance with social and environmental requirements.

For instance, social compliance audits may highlight supply chain risks related to forced labour or the infringement of workers’ rights.
