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 has a bespoke target list of pesticide residues, based on real positives found in monitored samples. This proficiency test requires identification and quantification of the analytes.
Green Tea has well known health benefits to consumers, and as such continues to grow its already considerable consumption globally. This success can put a great deal of pressure on the already stretched supply chains.
Pesticides can offer quick wins from which to maintain enough supply to satisfy demand, especially in the short term. Yet if poor farming practices are continually used, both product quality and consumers suffer. High pesticide residue levels can translocate via manufacturers to consumers. It is important to highlight these events quickly and concisely, as such effective testing practices must be utilised to effectively analyse green tea samples to highlight pesticide residue levels over normal levels.
To safeguard the effective testing practices required proficiency testing activities, as part of a well-designed quality assurance programme, should be utilised. Fapas proficiency tests make use of real food matrices from which to provide direct comparisons with your current routine analysis. This allows you to highlight areas of improvement across your testing practices, from which to ensure highly accurate testing over the medium to long term for your customers to enjoy.
