New ALL PHYTO® and Biopharma offers
In March 2022, Phytocontrol Group welcomed LPPAM – ALL PHYTO® to strengthen its presence in the health products field.
For more than 20 years, this laboratory has been ensuring the quality control of medicinal plants, spices, aromatics and ingredients of natural origin used in the manufacture of food products, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and phytotherapies.
Serving three industries: phytosciences (Agrosciences), cosmetics (Cosmetic) and chemicals (Chemicals & Materials), the Biopharma department offers a fourth service by positioning itself on the nutraceutical market. This sector is booming in the face of consumers who are increasingly attentive to their health.
The LPPAM – ALL PHYTO® offer
ALL PHYTO®, formerly LPPAM for Laboratoire Provençal de Plantes Aromatiques et Médicinales, is responsible for ensuring the safety of the pharmaceutical and food chain to ensure product quality.
The laboratory has developed more than 500 relevant analytical methods to study the safety, identity, purity, composition, authenticity and origin of biological products and substances.
ALL PHYTO has the approval of a “good manufacturing practice” pharmaceutical establishment issued by the ANSM, is accredited by the COFRAC Laboratories section and is ISO 14001 and ISO17025 certified.
The increase in the use of plants is leading to fraud, in particular due to the disappearance of certain species, so it is becoming essential for health safety stakeholders to guarantee their authenticity.
