ISO 48722 Residue Analysis in Infant Nutrition Products
The analysis of pesticide residues in infant nutrition products is critical to ensure that these products are safe for consumption, particularly by infants and young children. This service focuses on the stringent requirements outlined in ISO 48722, which provides a comprehensive framework for residue analysis.
Infant nutrition products include formula milk, cereals, baby food, and other items designed specifically for infant consumption. Pesticide residues can pose significant health risks to infants if not adequately managed. The primary goal of this service is to identify the presence of pesticides in these products and ensure that they fall within acceptable limits as defined by regulatory bodies.
The process involves several key steps, including sample collection, extraction, purification, and final analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). This method allows for the precise quantification of pesticide residues down to parts per billion levels. The results are then compared against established limits set by international standards such as Codex Alimentarius.
The service also includes a detailed report that provides comprehensive information on the detected pesticides, their concentrations, and compliance with relevant regulations. This report is invaluable for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams who need to ensure product safety and regulatory compliance.
