Health Research Institute provides testing services to individuals, organizations and companies focusing on the nutritional value and biofunctionality of foods and other natural products, and regarding levels of contaminants that may be present in foods. HRI also researches the links between (a) regenerative and organic agricultural practices, (b) the safety and nutritional value of foods, and (c) consumer health and well-being. HRI collaborates widely to catalyze the global transition to regenerative agricultural methods that produce pure, safe, healthy food while creating balance and regenerating the planet. HRI also conducts research and development to advance transparency and safety related to genetically modified foods, including gene-edited foods, and related to pesticides and other agrochemicals. Testing is central to HRI's work. Testing makes the invisible visible, thereby enabling systematic improvement.

At Genetic ID, we pioneered the GMO testing field, achieving international leadership in the field. We were leaders in:• Establishing a global network of standardized GMO testing laboratories,• Offering quantitative tests for all legally commercialized GMO varieties,• Systematically developing a comprehensive set of tests for unapproved GMOs,• Developing and implementing internationally a rigorous non-GMO certification program,• Customizing non-GMO certification programs to comply with specific national regulations,• Qualifying for ISO 17025 accreditation for qualitative, quantitative and varietal GMO testing,• Creating a licensing program through which we transferred Genetic ID testing technology to 18 laboratories around the world over an 18 year period.The mission of Genetic ID has been to provide the food and agricultural industries, and governments, with the technology, services and information they need to operate safely and profitably in the new and increasingly high-tech global marketplace, where industry and government must respond in a timely and effective manner to rapidly changing technological, market and regulatory challenges, such as those arising from the use of genetically modified crops in food production.Its services, include tests for food authenticity, speciation, allergens, pathogens and GMOs. Some GID labs have provided testing for heavy metals, organoleptic assessments, and stable isotope analysis.
