In order to protect consumers, the use of pesticide residues are subject to strict legislation worldwide. To help ensure that your products comply with these regulations, ALS is able to offer a comprehensive service in the identification and control of residues. It is well known that over use of pesticides can lead to dangerous levels of hazardous chemicals entering the food chain. Fresh fruit and vegetables are a vital part of a healthy diet and it is this fresh produce that is most susceptible to pesticide residues.
ALS has been performing pesticide residue analysis for over 30 years and recognises the need for fast, accurate and reliable analysis. In a world where food demand is ever increasing, the use and control of agrochemicals are closely monitored. Keeping on top of ever changing maximum residue levels (MRL's) is no easy task but having an experienced and knowledgeable laboratory team at your service definitely helps.
Our team have knowledge and experience of not only the analysis of individual or groups of pesticides but also targeted pesticide testing specific to certain foods or crops. We offer technical support to assist in devising tailor-made pesticide residue schedules or protocols by utilising our technical expertise and knowledge of historic residue patterns or pesticide usage.
The key features of our service are as follows:
» 5 working day turnaround as standard for our multi residue screens.
» Priority services available - offering same day and next day testing options.
» Reporting of compounds at 0.01mg/kg, in line with EC Regulation 396/2005, or below for infant and baby food regulation, 2006/141/EC & 2006/125/EC.
» Comprehensive list of single analyte methods
» UKAS accredited testing
