What Food Diagnostics does

Food Diagnostics A/S is a privately held Danish food safety diagnostic products company founded in 2002 by Managing Director Tonny Nielsen, headquartered in Grenaa, Denmark, and operating under CVR 26 84 63 58. The company distributes and supplies rapid testing methods and instruments across three core product categories — biochemistry (allergen, mycotoxin, antibiotic, vitamin, and enzymatic tests plus ELISA equipment), microbiology (PCR systems, Compact Dry plates, chromogenic media, colony counters, and water activity instruments), and hygiene control (ATP testers, UV lamps, temperature loggers, refractometers, and ECA disinfection systems) — alongside the DetectaPlast sub-brand of metal/X-ray detectable plasters and bandages for food processing environments. Underlying technology spans ELISA, PCR, enzymatic assays, and NIR spectroscopy, and in 2025 the company vertically extended into in-house agar plate manufacturing via an ISO 7 cleanroom production facility operated under GLP per ISO 7218 with ISO 11133 quality control and per-lot traceability.

The business operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market combining consultative direct sales supported by academically trained product specialists with a login-gated B2B webshop, quote-based pricing, and recurring instrument calibration and verification services. The company sells primarily to food industry, laboratory/testing, and pharmaceutical verticals across the Nordic region, maintaining direct offices in Denmark, Greenland, Faroe Islands, and Iceland, with partner-led distribution in Sweden (Scandinavian Diagnostics AB) and Norway (Labolytic A/S). Sub-brands include DetectaPlast (detectable safety products) and ECA Systemer (electro-chemical activation disinfection systems). Revenue streams combine hardware/consumable sales with professional calibration services and emerging OEM agar production. Food Diagnostics employs approximately 20 staff, has no disclosed external funding or parent company, and initiated formal GHG Protocol ESG reporting across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 in 2023.
