Contamination Risk Assessments
Intertek provides risk assessments, scientific review and regulatory support for a wide range of contamination issues.
A contamination can occur when an unwanted contaminant is present in a material, physical body, or the environment. Despite taking precautions and following best practices, a company can face the issue of a contaminated product. Some examples include: machinery or equipment leak, product tampering, and contaminated ingredients from suppliers.
Without adequate evaluation and proper perspective, the consequences may include destruction of entire lots of product, potential product recalls, loss of public confidence / damaged brand image, and possibly litigation.
