Why Food Safety Confidence Is Crashing – And What You Can Do to Protect Your Family

Food Poison Testing Lab - The Carlson Company

Gaining food safety confidence has sharply declined in recent years. Reports of food contamination, chemical exposure, and food-related illnesses are thus causing families to raise the question: “Is the food we eat really safe?” Knowing the risks and acting on them can protect all that you love and leave you with peace of mind.

Reasons Of Declining Confidence In Food Safety

Some of the causes that erode people’s trust in the food supply include:

  • Frequent Food Recalls – Meat, horticulture, and packaged goods are recalled frequently due to bacterial contamination or chemical hazards.
  • Hidden Chemicals and Toxins – Some pollutants, heavy metals, and “forever chemicals,” even if the label says otherwise, may be present in everyday foods.
  • Global Supply Chains – Imported foods may be exposed to different levels of safety, increasing the opportunity for contamination.
  • Limitations of Home Testing – While home food-testing kits have become very popular, they often cannot detect subtle or hidden contaminants.

Growing awareness of these concerns has increased the importance of having professionals test for poisons and contaminants.

How The Carlson Company Helps Protect Your Family

Carlson Company Testing Lab

At The Carlson Company, you can access certified lab‑based toxicology testing across a broad range of sample types – food, water, blood, hair, and more – so you get accurate, professional detection of poisons, toxins, contaminants, and heavy metals.

Key Services Include:

  • Food Contaminants Testing Testing to find hidden toxins, bacterial contamination, and chemical residues in your food. Learn more about our food testing services.
  • Pill Identification Testing Accurately identifies unknown pills or tablets to determine their chemical composition, active ingredients, and potential toxicity. Essential for accidental ingestion, legal matters, or safety verification.
  • Hair Sample Testing for Chemicals & Toxins Provides a long-term exposure history (weeks to months), detecting chemicals, industrial solvents, pesticide/herbicide residues, and environmental toxins that may not show up in short-term urine or blood tests.
  • Unknown Substance / Chemicals & Toxins Analysis If you suspect exposure to a mysterious chemical, cleaning agent, industrial solvent, pesticide, or other unknown toxin (food, water, household, soil, etc.), the lab can run a broad-spectrum analysis using GC‑MS / LC‑MS methods to identify the exact compound.
  • Certified Laboratory Testing With lab services from professionals, trustworthy results that go far beyond the capability of home-testing kits are available.

With these services, families take food safety into their own hands and prevent exposure to potentially harmful substances.

Practical Steps to Protect Your Family

In addition to professional testing, other steps may be done:

  • Stay Informed About Recalls – Responsibly monitor local and national food recall alerts.
  • Wash and Prepare Foods Properly – Wash exotic produce and ensure adequate cooking.
  • Test Your Food and Water – Test for toxins before they start becoming a risk with certified testing.
  • Choose Brands You Trust – Transparency and clarity in testing by a third party are advisable.

Implementing this habit with professional testing means food safety learning will become a proactive process.

Why Worthy Testing Professionally?

Many families underestimate the hidden risks in their daily diet. Professional food and water testing assists in:

  • Detecting harmful bacteria, heavy metals, and chemical contaminants.
