Nestlé USA, Solon, Ohio, expanded its quality assurance lab in Dublin, Ohio, which tests samples of DiGiorno pizza and Häagen-Dazs ice cream, among other brands, for foodborne pathogens, flags environmental contaminants and verifies nutritional claims.
The $11 million, 35,000-square-foot addition includes five acres of land formerly owned by Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, and nearly doubles the footprint of its original Dublin operation, which opened in 1991.
