Food Inspections Expertise

CIL offers fast and reliable product inspection services in the following categories:

Fresh Produce

Processed Food

When your product is ready to be inspected, one of CIL's professional inspectors will visit your supplier and check the quantity, packing, labelling, dimensions, weight, and visual characteristics of a randomly selected sample. In our inspections, we follow the guidelines of the World Health Organization Food Code and use the internationally recognized ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) statistical sampling procedure. This guarantees that we check a sample that properly represents your food production lot, and not a sample your supplier wants you to check.

Our product inspectors are highly experienced in their respective areas of specialization, which include Fresh Produce, Processed Foods, Seafood, Meat, and Poultry, and others. During inspections, they follow detailed inspection protocols prepared by our experts. CIL's food inspection protocols merge your instructions and specifications with industry standards and our extensive know-how, ensuring a comprehensive check of your food products’ quality, safety, and compliance.
