How do I get my sample to you?
You’ll want to make sure that you ship in a leak proof container. Ship with a freezable chill pack if it’s something you’d keep in the refrigerator at home. This is especially important if you want the food tested for bacteria. It’s OK to freeze food samples for at least 24 hours before you ship. Here’s a link to more information.

Customer Testimonials
My mom has had the same neighbors for years. When they got a new dog that kept getting in her trash, she talked to them about it. She thought everything was settled. Over the holidays they exchanged the usual cookies and treats. Shortly after eating some cake they dropped off she began to feel sick. I had it tested and it contained blood pressure medication! We were stunned. I thought this kind of stuff only happened on TV!
Carol A.After a night in the emergency room, I was diagnosed with salmonella food poisoning. Going back through the list of things I had eaten over the days before, I decided to test some of the left overs in my refrigerator. Sure enough, some take-out from two days ago tested positive. Never eating there again!
Bob T.Hey everyone at Private Lab Results just a quick thank you for helping me with my food poisoning case.
