Our History

Food Testing Dr. Sylvan Eisenberg

Our Founder Gets His Start in Food Testing

At the age of 23, Dr. Sylvan Eisenberg (PhD, Chemistry, Stanford U.) is hired by Lactol Corporation as a baking consultant. For the the next 5 years, Dr. Eisenberg travels the country, providing analytical and technical services to bakeries and restaurants.

Anresco is Created

In his free time, Dr. Eisenberg develops proprietary equipment for applying adhesives to export packaging. In order to sell equipment to the navy to support the WWII war effort, he is told he must form a corporation. Dr. Eisenberg decides on the name Anresco – an acronym for Analysis, Research, Consulting.

Sister Company Opens

At an American Cereal Chemists Society meeting, Dr. Eisenberg develops the idea for Micro-Tracers – simple, easy to detect analytical tracers for use in animal feeds. He is able to raise $26,450 in “angel capital” to promote the idea.

Moving on Down

Anresco outgrows its venue and moves south to the Bayview area of San Francisco, known as”butchertown”. Being USDA-accredited, Anresco generates much new business from local meat packing companies.

Our First FDA Import Client

Charlie Douie, owner of Tung Yung Trading Company, seeks a Bay Area food laboratory and is referred to Anresco Laboratories. Anresco agrees to take on its first FDA report for indole in shrimp but the FDA does not provide guidance on sampling or report requirements. The first submitted package is rejected because the final dilution did not conform with FDA methodology. Anresco reruns the analysis, resubmits, and the report is accepted.

Pioneers of the Pesticide Residue Testing Industry

Anresco begins a partnership with Nutriclean (now SCS) – a venture-backed startup certifying produce as “pesticide residue free.” Due to their demanding requirements, Anresco pioneers methodology to achieve lower detection levels, at a quicker turnaround time, and for a lower cost than ever before.

ISO 17025 Accreditation

In order to comply with impending FSMA requirements (Food Safety Modernization Act), Anresco applies for and receives ISO 17025 accreditation.
