Pesticide residue monitoring and regulation to determine potential risk
Pesticide residue monitoring and regulation to determine potential risk
Pesticide residue testing is a process that identifies the pesticide residue levels in food products through an in-depth chemical and microbiological analysis that gives food manufacturers and producers confidence in their product ingredients.
Although fresh produce is more susceptible to pesticide residue, all food is impacted, and your business must know whether harmful chemical residues are present in your food. The presence of pesticide residue in the manufacturing process can lead to the steady accumulation of harmful chemical residues entering the food chain. Pesticide residue in food subsequently leads to a high risk of health impacts on the environment, humans and animals alike.
To protect your business and minimise the risk of negative health impacts, you need to ensure pesticide residue analysis of your food products to comply with the relevant guidelines and standards for minimising levels of harmful pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides in the food chain. Lowering pesticide exposure is vital for you to comply with local and international standards, and that’s where our pesticide testing solutions can help.

When above a certain safe level of exposure, pesticides can cause adverse effects on the human body. When in contact with large quantities of pesticide residues in food, it may cause acute poisoning and other long-term health effects, like cancer. Pesticides are also known to have adverse effects on reproduction.
Pesticides are widely used to control rodents, insects, weeds, bacteria, fungus and mould while growing food. However, residues from these pesticides are left behind on produce and at lost times, even absorbed, entering the food supply. Pesticide residue analysis indicates of the amount and toxicity, thereby letting producers know how to ensure safe usage.
The latest research on pesticide levels on fruits and vegetables indicates that as plants grow, they absorb pesticides. However, the residue of pesticides lingers on the skin of fruit and vegetable skins, even after you wash them.
An independent, international expert scientific group conducts all risk valuations for pesticide residues in food - the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR). After gauging the level of risk, the JMPR sets limits for safe intake to ensure that the amount of pesticide residue in food people consume through eating will not result in adverse health effects.
Pesticide residue analysis is conducted on dry foods, fatty foods, fruits and vegetables, feeding mixtures, herbs, teas, spices and more.
