Science Research Institute of Food Safety

The “Science Research Institute of Food Safety” was established in 2011 on the basis of the Research institute of food technologies. The Research institute of food safety conducts tests of products according to microbiological and physico-chemical indicators, for compliance with safety requirements (physico-chemical and microbiological tests, quantitative chemical analysis).

The structure of the institute includes two laboratories: the testing laboratory “Food safety” and the Scientific research laboratory for assessing the quality and safety of food products.

By the decision of the National accreditation center of the Committee for technical regulation and metrology of the Ministry of industry and new technologies of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the “Food safety” testing laboratory is accredited in the accreditation system of the Republic of Kazakhstan for compliance with the requirements of State standard ISO/IEC 17025-2019 “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration Laboratories” (Accreditation certificate № KZ.T.02.E 1158). The laboratory has established and maintains a management system, for the functioning of which the necessary procedures, programs and instructions have been developed. The testing laboratory “Food safety” employs specialists who have received certificates that confirm their qualification in the quality management system.

OBJECTS OF RESEARCH OF THE TESTING LABORATORY:

Grain and bread products, meat, dairy products, fish products, beverages, water and other products of the food industry and agricultural production. In the testing laboratory, the content of heavy metals, nitrites, nitrates, residual amounts of pesticides, herbicides and mycotoxins, indicators of oxidative damage are determined. A complete physical and chemical analysis is carried out: determination of humidity, ash content, sugar, fat, proteins, titrated acids, the content of various ions, etc.
