Verified Lab Services (VLS) is an independent laboratory that is based in the largest kiwifruit-producing areas of New Zealand; Te Puke and Opotiki in the Bay of Plenty and Kerikeri in Northland.
VLS provides independent laboratory services including maturity clearance testing, ethylene testing and pest monitoring services to the kiwifruit, kiwiberry, avocado, citrus and berry industries.
VLS operates on behalf of Zespri during the kiwifruit season to collect and sample kiwifruit to provide 'clearance to pick' the fruit.
