Quality Assurance & Quality Control Services
FIIRO’s analytical laboratory undertakes routine quality control and safety evaluation checks on foods and food products for the purposes of registration of the products with National Agency for Food Drug Administration and control (NAFDAC) and for ascertaining standards specifications as set down by Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON).
These include:
Protein, total sugar, starch, Ether extract, crude fibre, ash, carbohydrate, trace elements, vitamins and cholesterol.
We also offer microbiological analysis and safety evaluation of food and non-food materials. The services provided include the following:
1. Evaluation of total viable aerobes, yeast, mould, coliform, E-coli e.t.c
2. Detection of Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus and other pathogenic species
3. Consumer complaint investigations
4. Shelf-life studies
FIIRO has recorded another milestone in achieving its vision of becoming the foremost centre of excellence in science and technology – based research and development for the industrialization and socio-economic advancement of the nation. On Thursday 9th August, 2018, the Institute was presented with the ISO/IEC 17025/2005 certificate for accreditation of its central Laboratory.
Nigerian National Accreditation Service (NINAS) presented the certificate to the Honourable Minister of science and technology. FIIRO is the first research institute under the Federal ministry of Science and technology to receive such accreditation.
Acquiring ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certificate is a major achievement and a step in the right direction for FIIRO in becoming a leading research institute in Nigeria and globally. It would also enhance competitiveness of Nigerian products by small, medium and Large enterprises in Nigeria.
The scope of accreditation incudes:
FOOD: Elemental/trace metal
Food & Drugs (Vitamins)
pH water/Food
Ash in Food
HPLC technique in food Analysis
NON-FOOD: Ash (Non-food) Charcoal
Moisture
Volatile Matter
Self-Ignition Test (Charcoal)
Fixed Carbon
Training Programs:
Training of personnel on quality control analysis
Training of personnel on operational use of instrument (AAS, HPLC, UV/Vis Spec, GC-MS)
