About Dana Gene Pajouh
Dana Gene Pajouh is a specialist food testing laboratory based in Tehran, established in 2011. The company focuses on food authenticity, adulteration detection and ingredient origin identification. Its services use molecular and DNA-based methods to identify plant and animal components in raw materials and processed foods, helping businesses assess product identity and composition.
Its animal-origin testing services cover raw and processed meat, dairy products, milk powder and gelatin-containing products. Fish species identification in canned tuna and other seafood products is another service area. These analyses support investigations into species substitution and the verification of ingredient origin within food supply chains.
For plant-based products, Dana Gene Pajouh offers testing for vegetable oil admixture, saffron authenticity and certain forms of nut adulteration. GMO screening and identification of specific genetic modification events are further areas of expertise. The appropriate test and sample requirements depend on the product and the purpose of the analysis.
The laboratory’s services are relevant to food manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, bulk buyers, importers and exporters seeking documented evidence of product authenticity. Test results can support supplier assessment, incoming ingredient checks and investigations into suspected discrepancies. The company also provides animal-origin testing to support halal assessments of food ingredients and gelatin-containing products.
