Food Testing Laboratory

Fwusow Industry

  • production line, and in 2025, a second unit was purchased, focusing on the development of inspection & analysis methods and applications related to cereal and sesame processing. In terms of inspection capabilities, the laboratory has completed the development of calibration curves for various tests in the grain and Sesame processing sectors and simultaneously established standardized operating procedures to help improve the quality control efficiency of production line personnel.
  • in 2025, we continued to send employees to participate in the ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory accreditation standards training held by the Taiwan Accreditation Foundation (TAF), with a total of 2 individuals trained, accumulating 54 hours trained.
  • To continuously validate and enhance our laboratory testing capabilities, we periodically participate in proficiency tests organized by international organizations such as FAPAS, LGC, and the Food Industry Research and Development Institute. In various testing Items including peroxide value, acid value, Water content, free fatty acids, oil color, iodine value, fatty acid composition, crude fat, crude protein, ash content, and microorganisms, all comparison results received a "satisfactory" evaluation.

Charming Food Laboratory
Our laboratory is managed by professional holding Level B technician for Food Inspection & Analysis, ensuring that our testing meets the highest standards. Each year, we undergo proficiency testing to enhance our inspection quality. Additionally, the microbiological cultivation methods we use strictly adhere to the testing procedures recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or internationally recognized testing methods, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of our results.

In 2024, we participated in a blind proficiency test organized by a food institute, alongside 42 other firms. Our inspection results received satisfactory evaluations. Through regular training and participation in proficiency tests, we maintain and enhance the professional skills of our inspection personnel, ensuring that the inspection quality and results at Charming Food Inspection Laboratory are recognized by external organizations.

Quality Control Overview
  • Fwusow Industry
In response to product quality control, we have established procedures and standards for raw material inspection, process and finished product inspection, and quality anomaly handling. These are our standard operating procedures and guidelines for quality control, which are revised and adjusted in a timely manner to comply with the latest requirements.

In 2024, 13,475 batches of raw materials were inspected, with 18 failing to meet the standards, resulting in a pass rate of 99.87%. Additionally, 45,734 batches of semi-finished and final products underwent inspection, with 7 failing to meet the standards, resulting in a pass rate of 99.98%.
In 2024, outsourced analysis of raw materials and finished products totaled 1,813 samples, including 1,123 samples of oils and 690 samples of grains. 8 samples did not meet the standards, resulting in a pass rate of 99.56%, there has been a significant improvement compared to 2023.

To control food safety hazards and implement preventive measures, every batch of broilers must pass an animal drug residue test before entering the slaughterhouse. In addition, we also carry out multiple self-inspections of raw materials and products, to ensure that we deliver safe and secure products to consumers.

In 2024, Charming Food conducted a total of 44 inspections on broilers, raw materials, fresh meat products, processed products, and outsourced manufacturing items, amounting to 7,467 inspections. The "Animal Drug Residue" tests performed in 2024 totaled 620 pre- and post-slaughter inspections, with a 100% pass rate. The total operational and testing costs for the Quality Assurance Laboratory amounted to NT $6,157,164, approximately 0.4% of the company's total operating revenue.
