The posting

This role is for a position at WISEcode labs, WISEcode's sister company and an independent third party testing lab.

--

WISEcode Labs, formerly Beaconpoint Labs, was built out of necessity.

The laboratory was created to support its sister company WISEcode and its Food Genome Project™, an ambitious effort to build a comprehensive food and ingredient intelligence platform. In pursuing that goal, it became clear that the required testing capabilities simply did not exist. No laboratory could reliably deliver the breadth, depth, speed, and transparency needed to analyze thousands of ingredients across hundreds of analytes with confidence. Rather than compromise, the lab was built to solve that problem properly.

WISEcode Labs is an independent third-party testing laboratory serving food, beverage, dietary supplement, ingredient, and adjacent consumer-health companies. The lab combines advanced analytical instrumentation, rigorous method development, microbiology and chemistry expertise, and a high-touch service model designed for customers with complex and recurring testing needs.

WISEcode Labs is differentiated by its unwavering focus on food safety and nutrition testing and becoming a primary testing partner to key customers, owing to its rapid response time and direct access to scientific leaders, customized solutions, and defensible data.

Effective August 25th 2026, the company unified its brand with its sister company under a single name: WISEcode Labs. The next phase is to scale this platform without losing the quality, speed, independence, confidentiality, and accountability on which the business was built to be the preferred testing & scientific partner for the food industry and WISEcode’s mission towards food transparency.
