Organic Food Testing

At Intertek, our experts can provide all the information and analysis you require to test your organic products for residues and contaminants.

As a food producer, you demand high quality standards from your supply chain to ensure your consumers can trust your brand. To enable your products to reach you in flawless condition and in the quantity the market demands, pesticides naturally become an integral part of the production process for both conventional and organic food products. 

With Intertek as your partner, we will provide guidance on food legislation within your destination markets and help you to develop the necessary risk based monitoring plans to enable your business to succeed. Reliable and accurate testing and analysis plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality of organic foods. Intertek can provide both the residue analysis and the high-level expertise you need to ensure that your products comply with the various rules that govern organic produce. We use cutting edge methodology and years of experience to ensure fast turnaround times and accurate test results.

Bee products, such as honey and wax, are also subject to strict regulation. Our experts have decades of experience on this highly specific and vital service. Materials used for organic beekeeping are strictly outlined by Regulation (EC) 889/2008. Allowed substances are limited to organic acids (formic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid), essential oils (menthol, thymol, eucalyptol, camphor) and microorganisms.
