Whether you looking for a global perspective for your pesticide residue testing program, you need to comply with FDA regulations or your focus is ensuring quality ingredients for your finished products, The National Food Laboratory provides the widest range of residue chemistry analyses for the food and beverage industry.

With extensive experience across a broad spectrum of products, our expertise in residue chemistry spans decades. We can analyze for a wide range of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, heavy metals and other food contaminants to ensure that food products and ingredients are in compliance with U.S. or international regulations.

The NFL’s 4 Screen MultiResidue Analysis (MRA) covers hundreds of residues. For those residues not included in our standard screen, we have developed over 60 single residue methods and numerous other screens.

The National Food Laboratory is quick to respond to emerging food chemistry crises such as Japan Positive List testing, benzene, acrylamide and sudan red food dyes. We are often the early leader in developing methods and analytical plans to assist our clients through challenging times.

Japanese Positive List Testing

All imported products need to meet the standards now established by the Japan Government, commonly known as the Positive List. This list comprises almost 800 chemicals and no residue may be detected for any product not contained on the list. Our professional staff will provide the guidance you need to get your products to the Japanese market. As an approved laboratory by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, our name and our results have been accepted for years.

If you have questions about pesticide residues, heavy metals, Japan Positive List testing or other food contaminants, please contact Grace Bandong
