Pesticide residue analysis

Pesticide residues can accumulate in the food supply chain and harm the consumer and the wider environment. TÜV SÜD conducts pesticide residue testing to identify the pesticide residue levels in food products. We do this by performing a thorough chemical and microbiological analysis. This gives food manufacturers and producers confidence in their product ingredients.

All food is impacted by pesticide residue. It is important that your business understands 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 in the food chain. This then leads to a high risk of health impacts on the environment, humans and animals. 

To protect your business and minimise the risk of negative health impacts, you need 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 pesticides residue testing solutions can help.
