Overview
IEH Laboratories & Consulting Group, also known as The Institute for Environmental Health, is a family-owned American company specializing in food safety testing, analytical laboratory services, and food safety consulting. Founded in 2001 by Dalia Alfi and Mansour Samadpour, the company has grown rapidly both organically and through acquisitions, and today operates a global network of more than 100 locations. Its client base spans a broad range of food industry participants, from producers and processors to retailers and foodservice operators. The company's core offering is expedited laboratory testing. Its testing portfolio includes full-service microbiology, analytical chemistry, allergen analysis, testing for bioengineered foods, toxicology, forensics, whole genome sequencing, metagenomics, and bioinformatics. Turnaround times vary by test, ranging from same-day results for some allergen tests to several days for more complex analytical chemistry work. IEH positions itself as the industry standard for food testing and laboratory services, emphasizing fast results and regulatory compliance. Beyond testing, IEH provides food safety consulting through a team of industry experts and scientists. Consulting services cover crisis prevention, crisis management and recall support, outbreak investigation, environmental monitoring program design, sanitation assessments, process authority work, thermal and aseptic processing, validation and challenge studies, shelf-life determination, labeling, risk assessment, and gap analysis. The firm has supported clients through outbreaks, recalls, and plant closures, acting as an external source of subject matter expertise. IEH also operates the IEH Academy, which offers virtual and in-person instructor-led training as well as eLearning courses on food safety and sanitation, with content tailored from C-suite executives to line workers. The company has developed proprietary solutions such as MicroMap®, an environmental monitoring solution for food facilities. It continues to pursue partnerships with innovative companies and has expanded its capabilities through acquisitions, including Tekran Instruments Corporation and the addition of juice testing services.
