HACCP
The introduction and implementation of the HACCP system including documentation of in-house measures and controls in food processing companies has been mandatory since 2006 according to the applicable hygiene law, even for small and medium-sized companies.
We offer you:
- optimal support to meet the legal requirements for quality assurance quickly and without great effort; independent of the product range
- creation or optimization of your HACCP concept by our trained HACCP managers
- sampling plans
- employee training
- preparation of operational pandemic planning incl. risk assessment
Please contact us so that we can prepare a suitable offer for you.
Milk filling station
As a producer and direct marketer of raw milk, you have a high responsibility for the quality of your product. To limit possible risks, we offer you the opportunity to have your fresh milk analyzed in a continuous routine test. At the same time, you can also use the results to document your own checks.
Examination parameters
- listeria monocytogenes
- salmonella spp.
- coagulase positive staphylococci
- e. coli/enterobacteriaceae
- total germ count
- campylobacter
Pre-harvest examination of cereals
Cereals to be placed on the market as foodstuffs must not exceed the levels of lead and cadmium in accordance with Regulation 1881/2006 (Regulation setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs).
Since July 2018, LKS mbH has been listed with the BfUL (Betriebsgesellschaft für Umwelt und Landwirtschaft) as a testing laboratory for the determination of cadmium, lead and arsenic as part of pre-harvest testing. This makes it possible to assess whether the maximum content for foodstuffs is expected to be exceeded before the harvest.
