What We Do
The Food Processing Laboratory exists to help food entrepreneurs and food businesses through regulatory, food safety, and quality and product development issues.
We work with Colorado food entrepreneurs who are bringing their food products to market and who sell to the public. Clients from other states are welcome to use our services. We routinely work with clients on: nutrition labeling, water activity, and pH screening.
