ASTM D7139 Fungicide Residue Testing in Baby Foods
The ASTM D7139 standard outlines the procedure for determining the presence and concentration of fungicides in baby foods, ensuring that these products meet stringent safety standards set by regulatory bodies around the world. This service is critical for ensuring the health and well-being of infants who consume baby foods as a significant part of their diet.
The testing process involves several steps to ensure accuracy and reliability. The first step is selecting an appropriate sample size, which must be representative of the entire batch of baby food being tested. Once collected, the samples undergo preliminary analysis to identify any potential contaminants or residues that require further investigation.
For fungicide residue testing under ASTM D7139, we use state-of-the-art instrumentation such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This technique allows for precise quantification of even trace amounts of pesticides in food samples. The method involves extracting the target compounds from the sample matrix using solvent-based techniques followed by purification steps to remove interference from other components.
The acceptance criteria specified in ASTM D7139 stipulate that all detected residues must fall below the limit of detection (LOD) or be reported at their lowest quantifiable level. This ensures that any trace amounts found do not pose a risk to consumers, especially infants whose immune systems are still developing.
Our team of experts follows international standards like ISO 17025 and ASTM D7139 rigorously during every step of the testing process. By adhering strictly to these guidelines, we guarantee that our results are accurate, reliable, and meet or exceed industry expectations. This level of precision is essential given the sensitive nature of the samples being tested – namely those intended for infants.
In addition to providing thorough analysis according to ASTM D7139, our laboratory also offers additional services such as method development support if new pesticides need to be added into existing protocols or customizing existing methods based on customer requirements. Our goal is not only to comply with current regulations but also anticipate future changes so that clients remain compliant even when standards evolve.
By leveraging advanced analytical tools and adhering strictly to international norms, we ensure that our customers can trust the results they receive from ASTM D7139 fungicide residue testing in baby foods. This confidence allows them to make informed decisions regarding product quality control and regulatory compliance.
