Test Description

Herbal teas comprise an enormous range of different types and ingredients.  The common factor is that all are prepared from dried ingredients which have the potential to concentrate and stabilise any pesticide residues from the application of plant protection products.  Perchlorate residues may also be present from production processes which are now commonly monitored for by pesticide residues laboratories. Herbal teas are popular drinks consumed throughout the world to aid wellbeing; therefore it is important to monitor such products for compounds that may be detrimental to good health.

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 quality control materials 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.

Fapas quality control materials make use of real food matrices to provide direct comparisons to your current routine analysis activities. This is vital to ensure only high-quality testing practises are employed by your laboratory to achieve the highest standard test results possible.
