Wheaten Foods Testing Service

Wheaten foods refer to staple foods mainly made from grains such as wheat flour and multi-grain flours. They are produced through processes like dough mixing, rolling, and cooking, and come in various forms including noodles, steamed buns, and dumplings. As a core component of food cultures worldwide, they are particularly essential in East Asia and Europe.
 
Wheaten foods testing is a core link in safeguarding food safety and regulating industry development. As a professional third-party testing company, Baier Testing can provide multi-dimensional testing covering raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products, ensuring they comply with national regulations, industry standards and market demands.
 
Raw Material Quality Assurance
Baier can conduct quality testing on wheaten food raw materials such as wheat flour and multi-grain flours (corn flour, buckwheat flour, etc.) This ensures the quality at the source and preventing issues such as contaminant exceedances and raw material adulteration.
 
Semi-Finished Product Monitoring
Baier conducts testing on fresh dough and undried wet noodles, focusing on microbiological contamination, moisture content, and gluten condition. This helps prevent initial contamination, avoid mold growth, and provides technical support for the texture and quality of the final product.
 
Finished Product Quality Assurance
Baier can conduct comprehensive verification of safety, quality, and compliance indicators for finished wheaten products, including dried noodles, instant noodles, fresh cut noodles, and frozen wheat-based products (dumpling wrappers, wonton wrappers). This provides enterprises with data support and offers consumers tangible assurance.
