I visited LGC this morning and was really impressed with their extensive analytical chemistry facilities. They provide analytical services for a wide range of customers - the FSA included.

The state-of-the-art 'time of flight' spectrometers are a little different from my day and can now measure contaminants or residues at much lower levels. We all want data as soon as possible to make decisions affecting food safety, but even more important is that it is accurate, as unnecessary food recalls can be expensive for food businesses and damaging to consumer confidence.
