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.
