Our laboratory results for the analysis of Listeria monocytogenes in foods are now recognized by Fisheries and Oceans Canada , and FTC laboratories are accredited by Standards Council of Canada , Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada as well as ISO 9001 . The Instrumentation Laboratory analyzes the texture, colour, and thermal properties of food. The Food Chemistry Laboratory analyzes food products for protein, fat, carbohydrates, moisture, ash, fibre, and for micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals. These measurements are used in preparing nutrition labels for food products. The Laboratory also performs tests to identify toxic substances in foods, or determine if a food is going bad due to poor storage.
Specific tests make it possible to evaluate the quality of products such as fish or baked goods.
