KUCHING: BP Healthcare Group has introduced the BP Food and Environmental Testing (BPFET) to deal with emergencies arising from food and water safety breaches.
This was done to better serve the community and respond to such emergencies.
Having started in 2004 as just BP Food Testing, the group soon realised that offering only food testing services was not sufficient to meet the more sophisticated needs of their customers.
As such, the group increased their services to introduce environmental testing services.
Today, the BPFET labs are International Standard Organisation (ISO) 17025 accredited and have more than 350 parameters under the ISO Scope, with many more to come.
The group’s testing also serves the fisheries and marine products, food and beverage products, sea, effluent and sewage water, oil and gas, livestock and poultry, agriculture products, palm oil, rice and rubber and restaurants, hospital and hotels hygiene industries.
Additionally, it also assists manufacturers to comply with the Health Analytical Critical Control Point (HACCP), Goods Manufacturer Product (GMP), ISO and Safety standards, ensuring that their quality monitoring standards are maintained and met at all times.
It has also invested roughly RM10 million in new equipment to conduct all types of water analysis including tests on pharmaceutical drugs, sea and river water, drinking water, effluent water, pesticides, palm oil and heavy metal among other wide products and commodities.
Meanwhile, BP Healthcare Group has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding and strategic partnership with Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) which provides a platform for both parties to exchange knowledge on the latest technology with respect to food and environmental testing.
In addition, UPM students will be provided with places for industrial training and the arrangement is also extended to fellow associate professors and academicians looking for more technical exposure.
