Test Description

Most countries now have an extensive monitoring scheme for pesticide residues written into their legislation. There are more than 1000 compounds used worldwide as pesticides or plant protection products. When used properly, according to good agricultural practice, any residues can be expected to be below maximum residue limits. The Fapas pesticide residues proficiency tests are based on the EU monitoring list and associated MRLs but are widely applicable to most geographic areas. We also base our statistical data analysis in keeping with quality assurance guidelines as laid out in EC SANTE/11945/2015.

This proficiency test now has an extensive target list, offering a comprehensive range of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, pyrethroids, organophosphates, organochlorine pesticides and neonicotinoids. This proficiency test requires identification and quantification of the analytes.

Pesticides are used throughout the globe to improve the quality and quantity of crop yields. As such their use can be extensive, sometimes over-extensive. As such it is important to highlight any overuse and therefore poor farming practises across your customers supply chains. These effective testing requirements are needed to protect the end consumer from high levels of pesticides.

Plum puree can be made up of a range of plums, exposing consumers to the risk of pesticide contamination within this foodstuff.
