Honey Pollutant Testing
The testing of honey for pollutants is critical in ensuring that consumers receive safe and high-quality products. This service focuses on identifying any contaminants or adulterants that may compromise the integrity of the honey. Environmental pollutants can enter into the honey supply chain through various means, including agricultural practices, industrial emissions, or even packaging materials.
Our testing process involves several stages to ensure comprehensive analysis. Initially, we collect samples from various sources and prepare them for analysis by ensuring they are free from external contaminants. The methodology includes thorough sampling protocols that adhere to international standards such as ISO 19782-3:2018 and EU legislation.
Once the sample is prepared, it undergoes a series of tests using advanced instrumental techniques like Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for volatile organic compounds, Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for pesticides and other chemicals, and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for sugar profiling. These instruments allow us to detect even trace amounts of pollutants with high precision.
The acceptance criteria are stringent and align closely with regulatory requirements such as those set by the European Commission Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on maximum levels of contaminants in foodstuffs. Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to meet these rigorous standards, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
