ISO 22713 Pesticide Analysis in Canned Vegetables

The implementation of ISO 22713 ensures that canned vegetables are safe and free from harmful pesticide residues. This standard provides a robust framework for the analysis, validation, and reporting of pesticide levels in canned vegetable products to meet regulatory requirements and ensure consumer safety.

ISO 22713 is particularly relevant for food manufacturers, quality managers, and compliance officers who need to verify that their canned vegetables comply with international standards. This service ensures that your product meets the necessary thresholds set by global regulatory bodies such as the European Union (EU) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 22713 guidelines, utilizing advanced analytical techniques like Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for accurate detection of pesticide residues. This service covers a wide range of pesticides including organophosphates, pyrethroids, carbamates, and other chemical compounds that may be present in canned vegetables.

The process begins with thorough sample preparation where the canned vegetables undergo extraction using solvents followed by purification steps to isolate the target analytes. Once extracted, these samples are analyzed using sensitive instrumentation capable of detecting even trace amounts of pesticides down to parts per billion (ppb).

  • Sample preparation is critical for accurate analysis.
  • Pesticide detection methods include LC-MS/MS and GC-MS.
  • Data interpretation adheres strictly to ISO 22713 guidelines.

The results obtained from this rigorous testing are reported comprehensively, providing detailed information on the presence or absence of specified pesticides along with their concentrations. These reports serve as critical documentation for compliance and quality assurance purposes.

Our team of experts ensures that every step in this process adheres to the highest standards set by ISO 22713, guaranteeing reliable data that can be trusted both internally within your organization and externally with regulatory authorities.
