Pesticide Testing for Food, Supplements & Cosmetics
Accurate multi-residue pesticide testing to ensure product safety and global compliance.
Pesticide residue testing screens for over 400 active pesticide substances in food, supplements, and cosmetic ingredients using GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS instrumentation to ensure products meet safety limits set by USP <561>, EPA, and EU Annex II regulations.
At Qalitex Laboratories, we provide expert pesticide testing services for dietary supplements, food products, and cosmetic ingredients. Our accredited laboratory uses advanced LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS technologies to detect trace levels of harmful pesticide residues, ensuring your products are safe, compliant, and market-ready.
Why Pesticide Testing Is Critical
Pesticide residues are a growing concern for consumers and regulators. Botanical ingredients, teas, grains, and plant-based oils are particularly prone to contamination. Without proper pesticide testing, brands risk regulatory violations, import bans, or labeling noncompliance — especially in organic and health-focused sectors.
What We Test For
We offer comprehensive pesticide residue testing for over 400 active substances, including organophosphates (chlorpyrifos, malathion, diazinon), organochlorines (DDT, endosulfan, lindane), carbamates, pyrethroids (permethrin, cypermethrin), neonicotinoids, and glyphosate.
Testing Methods
We use GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS for multi-residue pesticide screening, following USP <561>, EPA, EU Annex II, and AOAC 2007.01 methods. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) data are provided with every report.
