Milk and Milk Products Testing
Assuring Safety, Quality, and Nutritional Value
Milk and dairy products are essential sources of nutrition across all age groups. However, due to their high perishability and complex processing, they are vulnerable to contamination, adulteration, and spoilage. At Middle East Testing Services LLC (METS Lab), we provide comprehensive milk and dairy testing to ensure safety, authenticity, and compliance with local (GSO/UAE.S) and international standards (Codex, EU, FDA).
