Genetically Modified Organism Testing
GMO Testing plays a critical role in today’s global food and feed industry, where transparency, safety, and regulatory compliance are more important than ever. For manufacturers, importers, and retailers, GMO Testing is essential for maintaining market access and consumer trust. Many global markets require strict documentation regarding GMO content, and even trace levels can influence product classification, labeling requirements, or brand reputation. As part of our advanced Molecular Biology Food Testing, our laboratory provides accurate, sensitive, and fully validated Genetically Modified Organism Testing to verify the presence or absence of genetic modifications in raw materials, finished products, and feed ingredients. Using Real-Time PCR and other molecular techniques, we deliver reliable GMO Analysis that meets international regulatory standards and supports both mandatory labeling and voluntary claims.
Seeds, feed and flour are vital products for producers who wish to control marketability, meet labelling requirements and comply with EU Regulations (EC) No. 1830/2003 and (EC) No. 619/2011. QACSFOOD analytical laboratories offer a wide range of ISO 17025 accredited molecular analyses on plant species such as soybean, corn, cotton, rice and other plant species.The DNA Microlab, a member of QACS, equipped with the latest molecular technology, Real Time PCR, and staffed by experienced analysts, is ready to provide results in short response times.
Available tests
Determines the presence/absence of genetically modified DNA at the detection limit of the 0.1% method (Limit of Detection). It also provides information on genetic modification.
Detection of genetic elements such as P35S, TNOS, Βar, Pat, CTP2-CP4EPSPS, etc.
If the presence of genetic modification is found, detection and quantification follows for a specific event (event specific) such as MON810, NK603, MON89788, GTS 40-3-2, etc. This analysis calculates whether your product is above or below the permitted GMO limit, which in the EU is 0.9% for approved GMOs, therefore whether it needs to be labeled or not.
Our GMO analysis services are ideal for grains, soy, corn, processed foods, plant-based ingredients, and complex multi-component formulations. With rapid turnaround times and robust ISO-accredited services, we provide fast and actionable results that help you maintain control over product integrity. Whether you aim to meet regulatory standards, protect brand value, or respond quickly to customer demands, our molecular approach offers the clarity and assurance needed in today’s evolving food and feed landscape.
