Adding shifts for seasonal food orders?

Longer runs, changing schedules and shorter cleaning windows are reasons to revisit your environmental monitoring plan.

Our latest newsletter walks through three practical checks:
• Sampling locations and timing
• Patterns in results
• Responsibilities and follow-up

The goal is to collect useful information that supports decisions within your food-safety program.

Planning a shelf-life study? Begin by defining what you need it to answer.

Consider the product and package, the storage conditions you want to represent, the intended shelf-life period, and the quality or safety questions that matter to your team.

Where should environmental swabs be collected—and what can the results tell you?

A swab reflects the site and time sampled. A clear sampling question and relevant locations help put the findings in context with your food-safety program.

Developing or sourcing a Natural Health Product? The testing plan should fit the product, its ingredients, and the specification you’re working to—not a one-size-fits-all panel.

It also matters whether the sample is an incoming ingredient or the finished product. Those tests support different decisions.

PBR supports NHP and supplement businesses in Alberta and Western Canada. Tell us what the product is and what decision the result needs to support:

Reviewing a new food ingredient lot? Start with three questions:

• What is the written specification?
• Which test addresses the question for this ingredient?
• Does the sample represent the lot?

A result describes the sample received, so agree on sample requirements before testing. PBR supports food ingredient suppliers and manufacturers in Alberta and Western Canada.

Getting ready to reformulate or update a product for retail?

A changed recipe, ingredient source, or process may affect the nutrition information you have on file. Before updating your label, check whether the existing data still represents the product you’re making.

A package-size or format change is worth a separate serving-size check under Canadian labeling rules.

PBR Laboratories supports food businesses in Alberta and Western Canada with nutritional analysis for product development and label work.

What does your facility's water system need to tell you?

For hotels, recreation facilities, lodging operations and similar facilities, Legionella testing should begin with understanding the reason for testing.

Before collecting samples, consider:

• What part of the water system is being evaluated?
• Which sampling locations are relevant?
• Is the objective monitoring, investigation or follow-up?
• What decision will be made from the results?

A laboratory result is most useful when the sample, test and decision are connected.

PBR supports facilities with Legionella enumeration and related microbiological water testing, along with practical guidance around testing objectives.

Speak with PBR about your facility's water testing plan.

Launching a new food product? Reformulating an existing one?

Don't wait until production scales to start asking what analytical information you'll need.

A formulation change can introduce new questions around:

Microbiology — what characteristics should be monitored?

Shelf life — what should be evaluated over the intended storage period?

Water activity, moisture and pH — are these relevant to product stability?

Nutritional analysis — has the formulation change affected the information needed for label development or verification?

There isn't one universal testing plan for every food product.

The right approach depends on the matrix, formulation, process, packaging, storage conditions and the decisions your team needs to make.

PBR supports food manufacturers, QA teams and product developers across Canada with analytical testing and practical laboratory support throughout product development.

Speak with PBR about your product matrix and testing objectives.

Shelf life is more than an expiry date.

Before putting a date on a food product, there are more practical questions to answer:

What could change during storage?
Which characteristics should be monitored?
How long should the study run?
What information is needed to support the final product decision?

Depending on the product, shelf-life evaluation may include microbiology, water activity, moisture, pH and other relevant measurements.

Think of the process as:

PLAN → TEST → MONITOR → DECIDE

The objective is not simply to generate laboratory results. It's to collect useful information that can support decisions around product dating, formulation, packaging, storage and distribution.

PBR Laboratories works with food manufacturers, processors and product developers across Canada on shelf-life studies and related food testing.
