Our supplement pesticide testing checks for the presence of 518 known pesticides
Covering algicides, avicides, bactericides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, lampricides, miticides, molluscicides, nematicides, rodenticides, slimicides, virucides, alongside the transformation products of pesticides – our supplement pesticide testing identifies and quantifies the presence of 518 possible pesticides in your food supplements.
The combination of widespread International trade alongside vastly different pesticide regulations from Country to Country, means that you may be exposed to chemicals that have actually been banned in your Country – but the raw ingredients in your supplements have been grown in a Country with far more relaxed pesticide laws.
Strangely, even pesticides that are banned in the EU, for instance, can still be manufactured and exported from within the EU, to other Nations that do not ban these substances.
So it’s clear that other Countries still use banned pesticides – which can very easily end-up in supplements (and other products) that are sold in the Countries that ban those same pesticides.
Here’s just a selection of the 518 pesticides that our comprehensive pesticide test checks for (for a comprehensive list, please download the Pesticide Testing Scope document from the sidebar to the left):
ACCREDITED TESTING
We don’t rely on a single laboratory for every type of analysis. Instead, our mapped network of accredited laboratories allows us to route absorption testing directly to specialist facilities with the appropriate scope, methodology and accreditation for the analysis required. This means clients benefit from the right technical capability, competitive pricing and faster turnaround — without unnecessary layers of subcontracting.
Here’s some other reasons why we’re the leading lab…
With decades of collective experience in chemical and biological testing, our highly experienced team are perfectly placed to ensure a seemless, trouble-free testing process.
We use a state-of-the-art LIMs system for intercepting, recording, and delivering results to our customers in a secure, ultra-reliable way.
Our direct-to-source laboratory distribution algorithm matches every project with an accredited laboratory that specialises in the specific analyte or testing requirement. Rather than sending work through a generalist lab that may simply subcontract it elsewhere — a common industry practice — we go directly to the laboratory performing the analysis. This helps deliver better pricing, faster turnaround times and the right specialist expertise for every project. Contact us for highly competitive food supplement pesticide testing.
