Introduction
Qualimat Contrôle is Qualimat’s historical activity. At first focusing on the protein content of raw materials, Qualimat’s control activities evolved during the 1990s towards checking other nutritional criteria and monitoring undesirable substances. Sampling in ports has been carried out by Qualimat since 2002. These representative samples, taken upstream of users, are analyzed quickly to allow members to receive the results in real time. In parallel, synergy with member importers allows the sharing of the results of various complementary analyses.
