USDA Pesticide Data Program Herbicide Testing in Animal Products
The USDA Pesticide Data Program (PDP) is a comprehensive national effort to monitor pesticide residues on fresh fruits, vegetables, and processed foods. This program ensures the safety of agricultural products by providing data that supports regulatory decisions. Our service focuses specifically on testing for herbicides in animal products, ensuring compliance with international standards such as ISO 17025.
Herbicide residues are a critical concern for both food producers and consumers due to their potential impact on human health. The presence of unintended pesticide residues can lead to significant legal ramifications for food manufacturers and processors. Our laboratory adheres strictly to the methodologies outlined by the USDA PDP, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
The testing process begins with a detailed analysis of animal products such as meat, dairy, and eggs. Specimens are collected from various sources including farms, slaughterhouses, and processing plants. These samples undergo rigorous preparation steps designed to extract any potential herbicide residues for subsequent analysis.
Our laboratory employs advanced analytical techniques like liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to detect even trace amounts of herbicides. This high-sensitivity approach guarantees that no residue goes unreported, providing a comprehensive overview of the sample’s composition.
The acceptance criteria for this service are stringent and align closely with those set forth by the USDA PDP. Samples must meet specific conditions regarding storage temperature, time frame, and handling procedures to ensure accurate results. Our team ensures compliance through meticulous record-keeping and adherence to best practices throughout each stage of specimen preparation.
By offering this specialized testing service, we aim to provide peace of mind to our clients by verifying the absence or presence of herbicides in animal products. This not only supports regulatory compliance but also enhances consumer confidence in food safety standards.
