ISO 35601 Herbicide Profiling in Frozen Meals
The ISO standard ISO 35601 outlines methods to profile herbicides and their residues in frozen meals. This service is designed for food manufacturers, quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams who need accurate, reliable data on the levels of herbicide residues present in their products.
The process involves several key steps that ensure precision and accuracy:
- Sample preparation: Careful handling to maintain integrity
- Extraction methods: Utilizing efficient solvents to extract residues without contamination
- Instrumentation: Employing advanced LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) systems for high sensitivity and specificity
- Data analysis: Rigorous statistical analysis to ensure precision
The primary objective is to identify the presence of herbicides, their metabolites, and potential degradation products. This profiling helps in understanding the extent of exposure from production processes or packaging materials.
Adhering to international standards such as ISO 35601 ensures that results are comparable across different laboratories worldwide, which is crucial for global food supply chains.
The service covers a range of frozen meals including:
- Frozen vegetables
- Frozen dinners and entrées
- Snacks and side dishes
By profiling herbicide residues in these products, we can help ensure food safety compliance with regulatory bodies like the FDA, EFSA, and others. This not only protects consumer health but also maintains brand reputation.
Our expertise lies in providing detailed reports that include:
- Identification of all detected compounds
- Quantitative data on herbicide levels
