A rigorous protocol to guarantee excellence
Our “Pesticide residue-free” approach is based on a strict control protocol to offer our customers complete transparency and the guarantee of healthy products. This rigorous process comprises several steps:
- For each product batch to qualify for this claim, a representative sample is taken from the production lines for analysis.
- These samples are sent to an independent laboratory accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 standards and COFRAC, ensuring impartiality and scientific reliability.
- A comprehensive analysis of more than 700 active substances is carried out.
The “Pesticide residue-free” claim is applied to the flavor when finished product analyses show that the levels of each tested active substance are below the quantification limit (generally set at 0.01 mg/kg , but may be lower).
How can you recognize our Pesticide residue-free products?
The ranges in question are easily identified by the “Pesticide residue-free” logo, which appears on the relevant product pages on the website and on the technical data sheets. Such transparency helps customers make informed choices.
