RED FLAG​

21 days to launch.​

The formulation is approved.​

The packaging is designed.​

The artwork is almost final.​

Marketing is getting excited.​

Production is getting ready.​

And then someone asks:​

“Do we have the nutritional results?”​

Suddenly, the nutritional panel isn't just another detail to add to the artwork.​

It needs the right numbers.​

And if nutritional testing hasn't been planned into the product development process, something that could have been handled earlier can suddenly become part of the launch countdown.​

For R&D, Food Technologists, QA and Technical teams, nutritional analysis can be an important part of moving a product from formulation to finished product to shelf.​

AssureCloud’s Nutritional Testing covers a broad range of parameters, including protein, crude fibre, sodium, moisture, ash, sugars, total fat and fat profiles, cholesterol, glycaemic carbohydrate, energy, salt, preservatives and caffeine.​

The launch countdown shouldn't start with a scramble for nutritional data.​

Bring testing into the journey earlier.​

⚠️ 8 allergens. One regulation. No room for error.

Under R146, South African food labels must declare the presence of 8 categories of common allergens:
1️⃣ Eggs
2️⃣ Cow’s milk
3️⃣ Crustaceans and molluscs
4️⃣ Fish
5️⃣ Peanuts
6️⃣ Soybeans
7️⃣ Tree nuts
8️⃣ Cereals containing gluten

Can your team name them all, and spot them when they’re hidden in derivatives, compound ingredients or shared production lines?

Allergen mislabelling can lead to serious food-safety incidents and product recalls. Compliance starts with people who know what to look for.

Our half-day Basic Allergen Management course equips your team to:
✅ Identify the R146 allergens and their common sources
✅ Read ingredient labels and find hidden allergens
✅ Meet South African allergen labelling requirements
✅ Prevent allergen cross-contact
✅ Respond to allergen incidents and recall triggers

Aligned with FSSC 22000 V7 Additional Requirement 2.5.6 (Management of Allergens) and South African Regulation R146.

👥 For food handlers, production operators and managers, QA and technical managers, food safety teams, retailers, caterers and other food-chain professionals.

Know what's in your food 🔍

For someone with a food allergy, an undeclared ingredient is more than an inconvenience. It's a health risk.

Effective allergen management helps protect consumers, supports accurate labelling, and builds trust in your products. Testing can play an important role in verifying allergen control measures and supporting compliance with labelling requirements.

Allergen testing isn't optional; it is an ethical responsibility.
Our laboratories detect key allergens across your product range, including:
✅ Gluten
✅ Soy
✅ Peanuts
Giving you:
✅ Greater confidence in your allergen declarations
✅ Support for accurate and transparent labelling
✅ Independent verification of allergen control measures
✅ Added assurance for retailers and consumers

When it comes to allergens, what’s left off the label can matter just as much as what’s on it!

Your nutrition label is a promise. Can you prove every number on it? 🥗

This National Nutrition Week (9–15 October), the theme is "Creating Healthy Food Environments for Better Nutrition". Honest, accurate labels are part of that: they're how shoppers compare products and choose healthier options.
In South Africa, R146, the Regulations Relating to the Labelling and Advertising of Foodstuffs under the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act, sets out how nutritional information must appear on your pack. When your label makes a nutrition claim, such as "high in fibre" or "low fat", those values must be backed by analysis from an accredited laboratory.

Our SANAS-accredited laboratories perform comprehensive nutritional analyses of finished products, giving you:
✅ Accurate figures for your nutritional information table
✅ Evidence to support the nutrition claims on your pack
✅ Confidence for retailers and consumers that your label tells the truth
Test it. Verify it. Label it with confidence.

Happy World Egg Day! 🥚

Eggs are nutritious, versatile and affordable, and a staple in diets worldwide. Keeping them safe takes vigilance across the whole production chain.
Salmonella remains one of the most significant hazards in eggs and egg products. Reliable testing protects consumers and supports regulatory compliance at every step, from farm to packhouse to plate.
Our SANAS-accredited laboratories support egg producers and processors with:
→ Salmonella testing of eggs and egg products
→ Surface swab testing of production and packing environments
→ Indicator testing for Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms and E. coli
Critical pathogen results alerts are done immediately, with written confirmation within 24 hours.

The laboratory can only work with what arrives at the laboratory.​

For poultry disease investigations, sample selection, collection, identification, handling and transport all form part of the diagnostic journey.​

A compromised or inappropriate sample can make it harder to answer the question you actually need answered.​

Before sending a sample, consider:​

Is this the most appropriate specimen for the suspected condition?​

Has it been collected correctly?​

Is it clearly identified?​

Has it been stored and transported appropriately?​

Has the relevant clinical and flock information been provided?​

At AssureCloud, veterinary diagnostic testing combines disease-specific approaches with PCR, ELISA and traditional microbiological techniques.​

Because good diagnostic work doesn't begin when the sample arrives at the laboratory.​

It begins with the sample you choose to send.​

“We’ve always used those numbers.”​

It’s an easy sentence to say in a busy food manufacturing environment.​

But products evolve.​

Ingredients change. Suppliers change. Formulations change.​

And sometimes, the nutritional information simply gets carried forward because it’s what has always been used.​

That’s where testing can provide a useful reality check.​

🔦 2,951.
That's how many times our auditors found pest activity in food receiving, storage and preparation areas during our 2026 Food Safety & Hygiene Inspections. It was the #1 non-conformance of the year.
On 966 more occasions, live cockroaches, rodents or droppings were seen during the audit itself.
Our Top 3 findings for 2026:
1️⃣ Pest activity in receiving, storage & prep areas: 2,951
2️⃣ Ice cream temperatures: 2,545
3️⃣ Expired products on the shop floor: 2,164
Here's what we see behind the pest findings: almost every site has a pest control contract. What's missing is someone on site who owns the programme.
🔹 Sightings aren't recorded for the pest control provider
🔹 Sighting logs and bait station records aren't signed off at each service
🔹 Nobody trends the data or acts on it before it becomes an audit finding
Your contractor services the traps. Your team has to run the programme.
That's exactly what our half-day course, Pest Control in a Food Safety Context, is built for. Delegates learn to:
✅ Design a pest control programme for your site
✅ Inspect pest control stations effectively
✅ Identify, record and respond to pest activity
✅ Manage and oversee contracted pest control service providers
✅ Trend pest data and trigger corrective action
👥 For food safety coordinators, QA supervisors, facility managers, pest control programme owners and internal auditors
📍 On-site or virtual | No pre-requisite

Respiratory signs in a poultry flock can be an important clinical clue - but they don’t necessarily point to one disease.​

Depending on the flock history, clinical presentation and epidemiological picture, differential diagnoses may include conditions such as Infectious Bronchitis, Newcastle disease and Avian Influenza, among others.​

That’s why the diagnostic process matters.​

Clinical signs help build the picture. Appropriate laboratory testing can help investigate the cause.​

AssureCloud provides disease-specific veterinary diagnostic testing using PCR, ELISA and traditional microbiological techniques to support the investigation of animal disease.​

The challenge for the vet isn't simply recognising the signs.​

It’s knowing what needs to be ruled in - and ruled out.​
