Eurofins Food And Water Testing NZ

22/07/2025

This week we’re at the Te Pae Christchurch Convention & Exhibition Centre for the Red Meat Sector Conference 2025. This is a key event for the industry, bringing together delegates from processing and exporting companies, along with policy-makers and representatives from associated industries. This year’s theme is focussing on Emerging Topics from Across a Supply Chain, and will explore opportunities for innovation, trade, sustainability and value growth.

Eurofins is delighted to be a Gold Sponsor once again at this year's event. We are committed to supporting the red meat sector with analytical testing services across the entire value chain — from field to fork, and offer robust national coverage and comprehensive scopes to help ensure quality, compliance, and confidence at every step.

As the industry faces new challenges, we’re also leading the response to two emerging contaminants of global concern: PFAS (poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances) and microplastics. These persistent, man-made compounds pose real risks to our ecosystems, our food systems, and our health. Eurofins is at the forefront globally in developing best-in-class methods for detecting PFAS and microplastics in a wide range of matrices — including water, soil, and food. We’re now bringing these advanced capabilities to New Zealand, offering customised testing protocols and working directly with local partners to tackle regional PFAS concerns.

If you’re at the conference today, please drop by the Eurofins stand and have a chat with our experienced team to see how our testing solutions could work for you.

Happy International Women’s Day! ✨ Yesterday our Auckland Laboratory teams took time out to embrace the ‘Accelerate Action’ campaign to drive gender equality and inclusivity, and celebrate women worldwide. International Women’s Day (IWD) serves as both a celebration of progress and a reminder of the ongoing challenges women face worldwide. It calls for rapid advancements in gender equality, and focusses on recognising strategies and tools that drive women’s progress in education, employment, and leadership.

At Eurofins, we believe that equality for all of our employees makes us stronger together and drives excellence in our business. Believing in the strength, innovation, and business performance gained through equality, empowering our female leaders is a priority. Women currently account for over 40% of all Eurofins leaders, and as of 2024 our network is comprised of approximately 57% women in total.

On International Women’s Day, we would like to take this opportunity to recognise and thank our talented female colleagues for the valuable contributions they make every day - working to create a safer, healthier planet for all.

Together, let’s continue building a future where everyone thrives. ✨

We enjoy talking about soil health, but we also love to measure it!
This year at the South Island Agricultural Field Days 2025 in Kirwee, we’ll be talking to farmers about the best way to manage soil health by measuring your ‘soil numbers’.

Eurofins’ extensive testing solutions can underpin informed nutrient and farm management decisions by analysing your soil’s biology and chemistry - helping to control soil erosion and water pollution, and optimising your soil health and nutrient status for pasture, crops, and animal health. Healthy soil not only produces healthy resilient plants with good roots, but also reduces erosion and nutrient runoff, and keeps more carbon in the land.

If you’re heading to the South Island Field Days next month, make sure you stop by site C30 for a chat with our agri experts, and find out how we can check your soil’s health. We hope to see you there!

🌍 World Soil Day: Celebrating the foundation of life 🌱

On , we shine a spotlight on one of our planet’s most precious yet often overlooked resources: soil. Healthy soil is the foundation for resilient ecosystems, sustainable agriculture, and thriving communities. But how do we ensure soil health isn’t just a buzzword, but a measurable reality?

Eurofins Agro is going beyond just talking about soil health — we measure it. 🌾

With our scalable system, our soil experts provide actionable insights into the physical, biological, chemical, carbon capture, and contamination aspects of soil.

By doing so, we empower:

• Farmers & Growers: to practice outcome-based entrepreneurship, grow resilient crops, and increase revenues.
• Nature & Forestry: to enhance biodiversity and strengthen ecosystems.
• Urban & Industrial Planners: to mitigate contamination and improve soil sustainability.
• Retail & Food Chains: to source food sustainably and trace soil impact.
• Policy Makers & Governments: to create data-driven strategies for cleaner water, greener landscapes, and climate resilience.
• Agro Industry Advisors: to provide targeted advice and recommend long-term solutions.

Healthy soils mean healthier crops, cleaner water, stronger biodiversity, and a better future for all. Together, we can drive the transition to sustainable soil stewardship and ensure that every stakeholder contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals ( ). Healthy soil is needed to achieve at least 8 of the 17 SDGs!
