Toxicología y seguridad alimentaria

Rimkus Toxicologists have significant experience in providing analyses to evaluate health effects associated with a variety of chemical, biological, drug, and alcohol exposures. We effectively communicate those complex scientific matters to a wide variety of audiences.

El impacto del alcohol y las drogas se ha asociado con lesiones / accidentes mortales, accidentes laborales y pérdida de productividad. Los toxicólogos de Rimkus tienen una amplia experiencia en la investigación de exposiciones humanas a drogas ilícitas, opiáceos, marihuana, medicamentos recetados y alcohol. Evaluamos rutinariamente las reclamaciones de responsabilidad asociadas con el posible deterioro debido al consumo de alcohol y drogas con respecto a la conducción, el trabajo o los desplazamientos.

The average person interacts with multiple consumer products every day, thus it’s important to understand the level of potential toxicity these products contain and how it may relate to potential health impacts. Rimkus has extensive experience evaluating the possible health risks posed by ingredients in these products.
We assist clients in understanding and addressing regulatory compliance and litigation matters, providing support for many issues regarding product safety and compliance.

News headlines of an alleged food poisoning case often garner public attention. Through the expertise of our toxicologists and food safety experts, we determine whether claimed illnesses are possible from exposures to contaminated food based on the scientific data.
One also expects consistency in manufactured food products, but off-flavor or off-spec constituents can change the game suddenly. At Rimkus, we've investigated off-flavor or off-spec food products, including pet and animal feeds and exotic foods, allowing the affected parties to resolve disputes and claims so they can get back to business.
Along the food supply chain, there are many sources of substances that can expose consumers to potential health hazards and may result in significant injury claims. Our toxicologists, food safety experts, and industrial hygienists review food-related claims from a health-risk perspective related to the toxicology of the substances involved, the amount of exposure, and the merits of the allegations of harm or product damage.

Rimkus professionals have extensive experience across a wide range of food safety-related investigations. We determine compliance with federal and state regulatory requirements and conformance with Good Manufacturing Practices and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures. Our team can evaluate food additives and packaging materials and review food handling procedures and production processes. We help clients identify the nature and cause of food contamination from raw materials handling, processing, and packaging. We also recommend modifications and quality control systems to mitigate food contamination.
