As novel foods move closer to commercialization, the role of contract testing laboratories is becoming increasingly critical. From ensuring regulatory compliance to validating safety, quality and performance, labs are no longer just service providers — they are strategic partners in bringing new products to market. This webinar, in partnership with Merck, takes a practical look at what it takes to become a trusted testing partner in the alternative protein space, and how manufacturers can identify the right lab to support their journey. Through a structured, insight-led format, the session will explore both sides of the relationship: how labs can build the capabilities, certifications and service portfolios required to lead in this space, and how food innovators can evaluate and select partners with confidence.
