Food safety is a global concern. Thermo Scientific* LIMS enable food producers to standardize and harmonize operations at all stages of food production, from the farm to the table and from the production of raw ingredients to the packaging that delivers the product to the customer. Our LIMS can help laboratories achieve full compliance with even the strictest regulatory requirements. With the emphasis on improving food safety regulations in the US and around the world, traceability through all stages of production, processing and distribution is critical for food producers in their efforts to monitor quality, effectively manage recalls and limit product and revenue loss. A Thermo Scientific LIMS offers a secure environment for the management of batch relationships between raw ingredients, processed materials and packaged goods and can help food producers minimize the risks associated with contaminated foods, ensuring the safety of the consuming public and continuous value to the company’s shareholders.

Please use this site to learn how a Thermo Scientific LIMS can help you prepare for the changing regulatory environment, please download our White Paper, our Technical Posters or read some of our many customer case studies illustrating the value of a Thermo Scientific LIMS in food production.
