Food Inspection Services in Turkey
Independent inspection of finished and semi-finished food products at Turkish suppliers, carried out against your specification, your label artwork and the rules of your market.
Food Inspection in practice
A food inspection answers one question for the buyer: does this lot match what was ordered? We send a food-qualified inspector to the supplier, draw a random sample using an agreed plan, examine the product and its packaging, take laboratory samples where needed and report the same day. The report gives a clear conformity statement, a defect tally and photographs, so you can release payment or hold the shipment on facts.
What we cover
- Product appearance, colour, size or count and sensory attributes
- Defects classified as critical, major or minor against agreed tolerances
- Net weight, drained weight, fill and portion checks
- Packaging integrity, seal quality and carton condition
- Label verification against approved artwork and destination rules
- Lot coding, best-before dates and traceability links
- Sampling for laboratory analysis with chain of custody

Questions about food inspection
Not covered here? Ask us directly.
Do you inspect against our specification or a standard?
Against your specification first. Where the contract refers to a standard such as a UNECE or Codex standard, we apply it. Where neither exists, we propose a written checklist for your approval before the inspection.
How quickly can an inspector be on site?
For most locations in western and central Turkey we can usually attend within 48 hours of confirmation. Remote locations and harvest peaks may need more notice.
