ISO 22699 Residue Profiling in Bottled Drinks
At Eurolab, we specialize in providing comprehensive and accurate pesticide residue testing services for bottled drinks. ISO 22699 is a standard that ensures the safety of food and feed products by setting limits on pesticide residues to protect consumers from potential health risks. This service plays a crucial role in maintaining compliance with international regulations such as those outlined in ISO 22699, ensuring that the beverages we test are safe for consumption.
The process begins with sample collection from various sources, including farms and bottling plants. Samples are then prepared by carefully extracting the pesticides using appropriate solvents and reagents. The extracted residues undergo sophisticated analysis through techniques like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) coupled with Mass Spectrometry (MS). This advanced instrumentation allows for precise quantification of even trace amounts of pesticides in the samples.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 22699 requirements, ensuring that all tests are conducted under controlled conditions. The standard specifies detailed protocols for sample preparation, extraction methods, and analytical procedures. Compliance with these stringent guidelines is essential for maintaining the integrity and reliability of our test results.
One of the key aspects of ISO 22699 residue profiling is ensuring that no pesticide residues exceed established safety thresholds. This involves not only detecting the presence of pesticides but also quantifying them accurately. The testing process is designed to identify even the smallest trace amounts, which can pose significant health risks if consumed in large quantities.
Our team of experts ensures thorough quality control throughout every step of the process. From sample collection and preparation to final analysis and reporting, we employ rigorous protocols to guarantee accurate results. Our goal is not only to meet but exceed regulatory standards, providing peace of mind for our clients.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated in today’s globalized food market. Consumers demand transparency regarding the safety of the products they consume. By adhering to international standards like ISO 22699, we help ensure that bottled drinks meet these high safety and quality benchmarks.
