BioChroma Analytical Labs

Texas is cracking down and the dietary supplement industry should pay attention.

Following recent reports of heavy metals found in protein powders, Texas regulators have opened investigations into supplement manufacturers across the state. This isn’t an isolated issue. Over the past few years, Texas DSHS and multiple local news outlets have highlighted repeated problems:
• Contaminants like lead, arsenic, and cadmium
• Microbial failures including Salmonella and yeast/mold
• Products that don’t meet label claims
• Manufacturers operating without adequate quality controls

What do these cases have in common?
A lack of independent, third‑party testing.

Dietary supplements are not pre‑approved by the FDA. That means the responsibility for safety, purity, and compliance falls entirely on the manufacturer and the labs they trust.

At BioChroma Analytical Labs, we help Texas brands protect their consumers and their reputation through:
• Heavy metal testing (ICP‑MS)
• Microbiology (USP 61/62, pathogens, PET)
• Identity & potency testing
• Stability & shelf‑life studies
• Raw material qualification

When testing is optional, problems become inevitable. When testing is consistent, brands build trust.
If your company manufactures dietary supplements in Texas, now is the time to strengthen your quality program.
Your consumers deserve safe products and your brand deserves confidence in every batch.

📣Let's talk about pesticides📣

🌟 Pesticides are chemical substances with varying degrees of toxicity and modes of action. Certain concentrations of pesticide residues must remain in/on the treated species of crops or plants to control target pests that could destroy the food/botanical source.

🌟National authorities authorize the use of pesticides only after critical evaluation of toxicity, biological efficacy and residual remaining in/on food or plant as well as in the environment. To protect consumer use of food and botanical products, levels of pesticides should be monitored in any material derived from a crop or plant especially in cases where the source is treated with pesticides.

🌟Using GC-MS and/or LC-MS, food and botanical sources can be analyzed for pesticides in the laboratory and tested following USP method , FDA multiresidue methods or other scientifically sound methods.
