laboratories, announced today that it has moved one of its four Canadian food
testing labs to a new, 24,000 square foot facility, just miles from its former
location in Burnaby, British Columbia. The actual move, which took place on
Saturday, April 22nd, signifies the growth in offerings and the ability to

"The new Burnaby lab will give us the ability to enhance our analytical testing,
especially for micro. We will be able to offer even more capabilities now,
including tests such as E. coli 0.157, and will have the space to introduce
additional rapid methods for detecting Salmonella and Listeria in raw and
processed products. The lab's new layout will also be able to support a more
efficient sample flow and provide room to expand our chemistry capabilities,"
states Mérieux NutriSciences President for North America, Jim Miller.
With a continued focus on protecting consumer health, Mérieux NutriSciences
takes pride in being an industry leader in food safety and quality. "To
understand our customers' needs is to understand where the industry is headed,"
says Miller. "The feedback we were getting from our customers had a lot of
influence on our decision for this move."
The new lab in Burnaby is one of four Mérieux NutriSciences labs in Canada, and
one of twenty-one labs in all of North America. The Burnaby location presently
caters to the dietary supplements, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, fruit and
vegetables and processed foods industries. However, with the new space, the
company expects to be able to expand their current capabilities to reach a wider
array of customers by late fall.
Mérieux NutriSciences' officials visited the lab for a ribbon cutting ceremony
on Monday, May 8th, and hope to celebrate with a open house, inviting customers
to tour the lab, in early September.
