For businesses
Examination of a batch of food products in disputes over delivery, quality, value, spoilage, storage, transport, packaging and labelling.
When businesses seek assistance
Delivery and acceptance
Discrepancies in quality, condition, quantity, packaging or documents are found when a batch is accepted.
Spoilage and losses
The condition of goods needs to be examined after storage, transport, refrigeration equipment failure, packaging damage or another situation.
Batch value
The market value of goods, remaining stock or a disputed or damaged batch needs to be determined as of a specific date.
What is examined
- the goods and their packaging, labelling and batch identifiers;
- the contract, specification, Universal Transfer Documents (УПД), delivery notes, acceptance records and claims;
- temperature logs, storage and transport information, photographs and video;
- regulatory and technical documentation applicable to the object and question;
- other specialists' reports and records for a review.
The result for a business
The result may be a specialist opinion, a court-appointed expert report, a review, a consultation on the materials or an information letter on the feasibility of an examination.
Before work begins, it is determined whether a commodity examination is sufficient or a multidisciplinary task involving a laboratory or a specialist in a related field is required.
