Your Competence Centre for organic contaminants

Eurofins WEJ Contaminants GmbH was one of the first labs establishing the testing of acrylamide in all relevant food matrices after its first detection in French fries and potato crisps by a Swedish working group in 2002. Ever since then, our experts at the Competence Centre for organic contaminants have engaged themselves in the analysis of acrylamide and established efficient and reliable LC-MS/MS methods to analyse all relevant food groups.

Due to our memberships in technical commitees for process contaminants of various institutes for standardisation (DIN, CEN) as well as our participation in numerous events of European agencies and institutions (EFSA, European Commission etc.), we always have a presence in international debates on the subject.
