Water is one of the most important ingredients used in food and beverage manufacturing.
Whether used as an ingredient, processing aid, cleaning agent, or utility source, water quality can directly affect food safety, product quality, shelf life, sanitation effectiveness, regulatory compliance, and operational performance.
PBR Laboratories provides water testing services for food manufacturers, beverage producers, dairy processors, meat processors, ready-to-eat food manufacturers, and pet food producers throughout Alberta, Western Canada, and Canada.
Who We Support:
When water becomes part of the finished product, it directly affects food safety, product quality, flavor, consistency, and shelf life.
Common Testing Parameters:
Escherichia coli (E. coli), Total Coliforms, and Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC).
Testing for pH, Conductivity, Hardness, and Alkalinity.
Testing for Lead, Copper, Iron, and Manganese.
Water used during manufacturing can influence food safety programs, equipment performance, sanitation effectiveness, and product quality.
Food facilities require potable water suitable for its intended use throughout manufacturing operations.
Water chemistry can affect product quality, taste, consistency, sanitation effectiveness, and equipment performance.
Food processing operations often generate wastewater containing organic materials, nutrients, suspended solids, and processing residues. Monitoring helps facilities understand treatment performance and support environmental compliance.
Water can directly affect food safety, product quality, sanitation effectiveness, operational performance, and regulatory compliance.
Escherichia coli (E. coli), Total Coliforms, and Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC).
pH, conductivity, hardness, alkalinity, chloride, sulphate, Total Organic Carbon (TOC), and Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC).
Food processing wastewater often contains elevated organic loading, nutrients, and suspended solids that require monitoring and treatment.
