USDA FSIS Pesticide Analysis in Eggs
The United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) plays a critical role in ensuring that eggs entering commerce are free from harmful residues, including pesticides. This service involves the rigorous analysis of pesticide residues in eggs to ensure compliance with stringent national and international standards.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to FSIS guidelines and follows ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for proficiency in conducting such tests. Eggs are particularly susceptible to contamination due to their natural porous shell, which allows external pollutants to penetrate easily. This makes the USDA FSIS pesticide analysis a crucial step in safeguarding public health.
The testing process involves several key steps. First, eggs must undergo thorough preparation, ensuring that they are free from any external contaminants and that the sample is representative of the batch being tested. Once prepared, the eggs are analyzed using state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) coupled with Mass Spectrometry (MS).
The HPLC-MS system allows for precise quantification of even trace levels of pesticides, ensuring that no residue exceeds allowable limits. The results obtained from this process are meticulously documented and reported in accordance with FSIS guidelines. This ensures transparency and trustworthiness in the supply chain.
Our laboratory is equipped to handle a wide range of egg samples, including liquid, frozen, and pasteurized eggs. We also provide custom testing solutions for specialty products like organic or free-range eggs, ensuring that all stakeholders can rely on our comprehensive service offerings.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated. By adhering strictly to FSIS guidelines and using advanced analytical techniques, we ensure the safety of eggs entering commerce. This not only protects public health but also enhances consumer confidence in the integrity of food products.
