Pesticide Testing
Comprehensive multi-residue methods covering hundreds of pesticides and metabolites.
Pesticide Residue Testing That Protects Safety and Reputation
Trace pesticide residues can undermine consumer confidence and regulatory compliance. Aurora performs precise multi-residue testing for food, supplements, and botanical ingredients to ensure every product meets the highest safety standards before reaching the market.
The Challenge: Managing the Risk of Chemical Contamination
Even products labeled natural or organic are vulnerable to pesticide contamination. Aurora helps companies detect and address these risks early to maintain quality, safety, and compliance across every batch.
Hidden Risks in Ingredients
Pesticides can persist in soil, water, and raw materials, appearing unexpectedly in crops, botanicals, or ingredients sourced from multiple regions. Without testing, these residues can slip through production undetected.
Tighter Global Limits
Regulatory agencies worldwide, including the FDA, CFIA, and European authorities, continue to reduce allowable pesticide limits. Companies must verify compliance through documented, third-party laboratory data.
Challenges with Multi-Residue Detection
Testing for hundreds of possible pesticide compounds requires specialized equipment and validated methods. Complex formulations or natural matrices can interfere with standard screening, making expert analysis essential.
Aurora’s Role in Ensuring Safety
Aurora provides validated pesticide residue testing that identifies and quantifies trace-level contaminants with precision. Our multi-residue screening methods deliver accurate, defensible results ready for compliance documentation and certification.
