Uncovering what shouldn't be there.

Accredited light and heavy filth testing, backed by FDA/FBI-trained expertise.

Heavy & Light Filth Testing

FTS has been testing for light filth in a wide array of products since 1981

Food safety starts with what you can't see on the surface. FTS Laboratories' heavy and light filth testing identifies insects, insect fragments, rodent hair, feather barbules, mites, and other extraneous matter that can compromise food products and put consumers at risk.

Our analysts are rigorously trained by retired FDA and FBI experts, and continually stay current with the latest fragment and hair identification techniques. FTS Labs holds accreditation for more than 30 light filth testing methods — giving you confidence that your products meet the strictest regulatory standards.
