Biosecurity and quality control are your top priorities. All of Charles River's products, services, and production procedures follow stringent standards. Our intensive weekly quality control program exceeds USDA Memo 800.65 and European Pharmacopoeia requirements. The production of SPF eggs is achieved through the use of filtered-air-positive-pressure (FAPP) poultry housing, critical biosecurity measures, and the careful selection of layer flocks. Validated biological assays are utilized to confirm the SPF status of every flock. A quality control sheet documenting this status accompanies each product shipment. This high degree of quality control and technical expertise is continued through product processing, packing, and shipping. Charles River maintains the quality assurance program that sets the industry standard.
