Naturally Occurring Toxins (NOTs) Testing

Many foods naturally contain toxic compounds that can cause harm if concentrations exceed safe limits. FoodSafe Labs tests for the full spectrum of naturally occurring toxins (NOTs) relevant to food safety and regulatory compliance.

Mycotoxin Analysis

Aflatoxins B1/B2/G1/G2, ochratoxin A, fumonisins B1/B2, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, and T-2/HT-2 toxins in cereals, nuts, spices, and dried fruits.

Cyanogenic Glycosides

Total cyanide and cyanogenic glycoside analysis in cassava, apricot kernels, bitter almonds, and other cyanide-containing plant materials.

Alkaloids and Phytotoxins

Solanine in potatoes, pyrrolizidine alkaloids in herbs and honey, tropane alkaloids, and other toxic alkaloids in food and feed.

Lectins and Antinutrients

Haemagglutinating lectin activity, phytic acid, oxalates, tannins, and trypsin inhibitors in legumes, cereals, and plant-based foods.

Marine Biotoxins

Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSP), diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSP), amnesic shellfish toxins (ASP), and ciguatoxins in seafood products.

Allergen-Like Proteins

Testing for naturally occurring compounds with allergen-like effects including latex-fruit syndrome proteins and cross-reactive allergens.

How It Works

01
Hazard Identification

We identify the relevant NOTs for your specific product and supply chain risk profile.

02
Validated Analysis

Testing by validated methods specific to each toxin class and food matrix.

03
Risk Assessment Report

Results with interpretation against applicable regulatory limits and risk assessment commentary.
