Analytical Services
The food sector is one of the most demanding when it comes to proving that its products are safe and of high quality. For this, it is essential to have a certified laboratory as an ally, equipped with the most advanced analytical techniques.
Currently, fruit and vegetable producers, as well as the food industry in general, have been forced to conduct safety tests only when the product reaches the destination market due to the lack of reliable laboratory services at the source. The drawback of this is that if a non-compliance issue is detected (such as prohibited pesticides, levels above the Maximum Residue Limit, heavy metals, toxins, etc.), the ability to respond effectively is almost nonexistent.
Additionally, this situation prevents producers from making informed marketing decisions when shipping their products from one market to another, based on the safety control reports and the specific requirements imposed by each destination market.
