What is Food Residue and Contaminant Analysis?

Food residue and contaminant analysis is a key procedure to ensure food safety by identifying the presence of chemicals that could pose a health risk. This analysis allows compliance with national and international regulations and ensures the safety of products intended for human and animal consumption.

Benefits of Residue and Contaminant Analysis

  • Regulatory compliance: Ensures adherence to local and international regulations regarding residue limits.
  • Consumer safety: Reduces risks of exposure to harmful contaminants.
  • Protection of brand reputation: Ensures product quality and safety.
  • Prevention of penalties: Avoids rejections in exports and regulatory sanctions.
  • Supply chain control: Verifies the presence of residues in raw materials and finished products.
