Eggs & Egg Products Testing – METS Laboratories
Eggs and egg-based products are widely consumed and used across diverse food industries. Ensuring their safety, quality, and regulatory compliance is essential to protect consumer health and meet export and domestic standards. METS Laboratories offers advanced analytical and microbiological testing services tailored to the unique challenges of egg products — from shell eggs to processed egg powders.

Quality indicators like protein integrity and freshness affect food safety and product usability.
International and national food safety regulations require rigorous testing.

Critical for preventing foodborne illnesses and recalls in domestic and export markets.
