Bia Analytical recognised at the SOFHT Awards!
We are thrilled to share that Bia Analytical has been awarded Highly Commended in the Best New Product/Service category at the prestigious SOFHT Awards. This recognition celebrates our commitment to advancing food authenticity testing and acknowledges the impact of our portable authenticity device, a tool designed to bring lab-quality analysis directly to the supply chain.
The Society of Food Hygiene and Technology (SOFHT) is one of the UK’s leading independent professional bodies dedicated to food safety, hygiene, and integrity. Since its founding in 1979, SOFHT has brought together experts from industry, government, and academia to raise standards across the food sector. The organisation provides training, technical guidance, networking, and an influential voice in shaping best practice.
Held annually, the SOFHT Awards recognise excellence, innovation, and outstanding achievements within the food industry. They celebrate individuals and organisations who are driving improvements in food safety, quality, and operational integrity.
Categories range from technological innovation to training, customer service, and contributions to the wider industry. Being recognised by SOFHT is a mark of credibility and trust—reflecting not only technical excellence but also real-world impact.
Why this recognition matters to Bia Analytical… this award marks a major milestone in our mission to make food authenticity testing faster, more accessible, and more reliable at every point in the supply chain.
Our portable risk screening device was designed to address clear industry needs:
- On-site testing: Bringing rapid authenticity screening directly to factories, warehouses, and field locations.
- Faster decisions: Allowing teams to identify risks in minutes rather than waiting days for laboratory results.
- Improved supply chain integrity: Empowering food businesses to verify ingredients, protect consumers, and reduce economic fraud.
Being Highly Commended by SOFHT affirms that our technology is already making a measurable difference and reinforces the demand for innovative, practical solutions in food integrity testing.
We extend our thanks to SOFHT and the judging panel for recognising our work, and to our partners, customers, and supporters who continue to drive our innovation forward. Most importantly, thank you to the Bia Analytical team whose passion and commitment brought the portable device from concept to field-ready reality.
