Pesticide Residue Testing for Herbs, Teas & Spices
Pesticides are commonly used in agriculture to protect crops from pests and diseases. However, the residual traces of pesticides can remain in herbs, teas, and spices, posing health risks to consumers. Pesticide residues can lead to neurological disorders, hormone disruption, and long-term cancer risks if consumed in high quantities.
Minerva Scientific partners with our Tentamus labs to offer pesticide residue testing for herbs, teas, and spices to ensure regulatory compliance and consumer safety. Our tests identify and quantify a wide range of pesticide residues in your products, helping you meet UK and EU food safety standards and retailer requirements.
