FDA Pesticide Program Residue Testing in Organic Foods
The FDA's Pesticide Program plays a crucial role in ensuring that foods are safe from pesticide residues. This service focuses on testing organic foods for compliance with the FDA's standards. The FDA sets maximum permissible levels of pesticides to protect public health and prevent harmful exposure.
In the context of organic food, testing for pesticide residues is particularly important because organic farming practices are designed to avoid synthetic pesticides. However, natural or biological pest control products can still leave traces in crops. Our service ensures that these residues do not exceed safe levels as defined by the FDA. This testing aligns with international standards such as ISO 36001 and ASTM D4267-98.
The FDA conducts its pesticide residue testing in organic foods to monitor the safety of these products for consumers. Our laboratory adheres strictly to the guidelines set by the FDA Pesticide Program and uses advanced analytical methods such as Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for precise measurement.
The service covers a broad range of organic crops, including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. Specimen preparation involves thorough sampling to ensure representation of the entire batch, followed by extraction using solvent-based methods like QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe).
Our laboratory employs highly skilled chemists with expertise in pesticide residue analysis. They use state-of-the-art instrumentation to provide accurate results that are traceable to international standards. The testing process ensures that the organic food meets the stringent requirements of both domestic and export markets.
