One of the most challenging sectors in Brazil is the food industry. Those who work in the segment need to be aware of all the rules and changes in the regulatory sector, including those related to ensuring human health. Relying on robust technical support therefore saves time and resources.
Planitox is a pioneer in regulatory toxicology and operates in all processes in the food industry, starting with the approval of a new ingredient to ensure its safety from a toxicological point of view. We also work on the surveillance of food products, identifying potential deviations in quality or contamination and monitoring the products in terms of health safety.
We support registration companies specializing in the food industry, as well as providing advice to industry entities — including to meet the legal requirements of RDC 241 and RDC 242, published in 2018.
Planitox’s mission is to take care of product safety in order to guarantee the safety of companies. We help organizations in crisis situations and have over 30 years of experience in developing successful toxicology dossiers for the food industry.
