Why Test Organic Foods?
Organic food refers to agricultural products grown on organic farms or products made from these agricultural products. On organic farms, certain toxic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are prohibited from being used, and genetically modified crops are also forbidden. This meets the demands of consumers for natural and healthy diets. Regulatory agencies in various countries are becoming increasingly strict in the review of organic labels. Therefore, obtaining organic certification for food is not an easy task, which has led to a series of fraudulent practices of falsely labeling "organic" driven by interests. Third-party laboratory tests can help confirm the authenticity of organic food.

Test Items
Residue of pharmaceuticals is one of the key substances that must be tested in organic products. In accordance with the organic standards of different countries, we offer tailored testing packages for clients from various regions to ensure that residues of pesticides, antibiotics, and other pharmaceuticals in products remain below the specified limits.
Synthetic Fertilizer Testing
Organic agricultural production systems typically replace synthetic fertilizers with natural compost and manure. We test for residues of contaminants such as biuret, ammonium nitrate, cadmium, and arsenic in products to verify that they have not been exposed to prohibited chemical nitrogen fertilizers or artificially synthesized phosphate and potash fertilizers.
Organic products must not contain genetically modified components. However, during transportation and processing, there is a possibility of cross-contamination causing the introduction of genetically modified components into the products. Genetic modification testing is a key technical step for verifying the "non-genetically modified" attribute of organic food.
Testing for common protein allergens in organic food. These allergens may come from ingredients in the product such as peanuts, gluten, milk, eggs, and soybeans, or may be introduced through cross-contamination in the processing chain.
