Technical Service Consultants Ltd launched a range of sampling sponges for the bacteriological sampling of red meat carcasses over 18 months ago. The product complies fully with EU commission regulations no. 2073/2005. The Carcass Sampling Sponge has proved to be hugely successful both in the UK and throughout Europe and has been designed with the help and contribution of our customers and end users.
