Additional pesticide analyses

In addition to screening for pesticides present in food, agricultural products or other materials, we can also perform additional analyses. Using these additional pesticides, which are analysed in a different way from the screening, we can measure specific substances.

Additional pesticide analyses

  • Improved food safety by measuring specific substances

  • Comply with EU limits for pesticides in food

  • Comply with international trade standards for imports and exports

  • Quality control and identification of contamination sources for producers

Additional pesticide analyses

Pesticides are used to protect crops from pests, but their residues can remain in food.

The European Union sets limits on the amount of pesticides that can be found in food.

For food that is being exported and imported, additional pesticide analyses are often required to meet international trade standards and requirements.

Supplemental analyses play a role in maintaining the overall quality of agricultural products and foods. They help to identify potential sources of contamination and enable producers to take corrective action.

Additional pesticide analyses

We can perform the following complementary pesticide analyses:

Amines & Morpholine

Benzyladenine

Bromide

Chlormequat & Mepiquat

Diquat & Paraquat

Dithiocarbamates

Ethephon

Phosetyl-Aluminium & Phosphoric Acid

Gibberellic Acid

Glyphosate, Glufosinate, AMPA

Guazatin

Malein Hydrazide

Matrine

Quaternary ammonium compounds DDAC/BAC

Sulfite

Thiourea (ETU & PTU)

In summary, complementary pesticide analyses are an integral part of quality control processes in food production. They help ensure safe and healthy food products for consumers, enforce regulations and support international trade.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Additional pesticide analyses are tests for specific pesticides not measured by standard screening. They allow precise detection of certain substances in food, agricultural products, or other materials.

These analyses ensure food safety by measuring specific substances, comply with EU pesticide limits, and meet international trade standards. They also support quality control and help identify contamination sources for producers.

Normec performs a wide range of additional analyses, including amines, morpholine, chlormequat, dithiocarbamates, glyphosate, and quaternary ammonium compounds.
