FDA Pesticide Program Organophosphate Residue Analysis

The FDA Pesticide Program plays a critical role in ensuring that food and feed products are free from harmful pesticide residues. This program is dedicated to safeguarding public health by monitoring pesticide use on agricultural commodities and evaluating the potential risks these chemicals pose when consumed. The analysis of organophosphate residues, one of the most common types of pesticides used worldwide, is essential for maintaining this safety net.

Organophosphates are a class of insecticides widely employed in agriculture due to their effectiveness against pests. However, excessive or improper use can lead to contamination of food and feed products with these chemicals, posing significant health risks. The FDA's Organophosphate Residue Analysis service is designed to identify and quantify the presence of these residues in various samples.

This analysis follows stringent protocols outlined by international standards such as ISO 17025 for proficiency testing and accuracy assurance. Our laboratory adheres to these guidelines to ensure reliable, accurate results that are trusted by regulatory bodies and industry stakeholders alike. The process involves several steps including sample collection, extraction, purification, and detection using advanced analytical techniques like GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry).

The significance of this service cannot be overstated, especially considering the increasing awareness about pesticide residues in food and feed products. By offering comprehensive analysis services for organophosphates, we contribute to enhancing consumer confidence and promoting safer agricultural practices.

  • Sample Collection: Properly collected samples are crucial for accurate testing results.
  • Analytical Techniques: Utilization of state-of-the-art GC-MS ensures precise detection levels.
