Toxicity Risk Assessment

When crisis situations involve alleged harmful or toxic chemical contaminants, we partner with established scientists in the field of toxicology to perform hazard analysis. This understanding of chemical toxicity, along with our analytical investigations, result in a full toxicity risk assessment report.

Examples of crisis management situations:

Food or beverage contamination
Product recalls due to safety issues or failures
Residue or trace level unknown materials
Off-odors, off-colors, off-taste

Case Study:

A food manufacturer noticed that their product had a strange odor after processing. It smelled like a cleaning product, and they were concerned that the batch was contaminated with a potentially toxic substance. Answers were needed quickly to prevent plant shutdown and production delays. They requested that Chemir analyze “good” vs. “bad” product samples for contaminants and perform a toxicity risk assessment. With millions of dollars of perishing inventory at stake, the results were needed over the weekend to prevent production downtime. Read what happened...
