ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (NABL) Certification for Residues in Food Products

Residues in Food Products
When it comes to food, it is one of those basic needs that must be handled carefully. Food is responsible for the nourishment our body and rejuvenate our energy resources of the body. In the agricultural field, there is a use of chemical substances and pesticides to a vast extent. These chemical substances can be poisonous for human ingestion if taken in a certain amount. But these chemicals are not meant to be present in the final yield of the corps but they are so reluctant that even after the yield, one can find significant amount of traces of such hazardous chemicals. As nowadays, most our food is processed in processing facilities, it is essential to ensure that food reaching the consumers does not contain any residues of any harmful chemicals. The companies need to analyse the traces of such chemicals and ensure to remove them from the products as even traces of such chemicals can be lethal for human health. The process of analysing the traces of chemicals in food products is called residue analysis. 

Some of the chemicals such as pesticides that are chlorinated can be found in many different food products such as oils, meat, dairy, poultry, grains and so forth. 

Testing Residue in Food Products
In the modern day science labs, there are many different methods present that are used for testing the chemical residues in the food products. In one such  method, the sample is taken and it is placed under the ultraviolet spectrum, this gives some observations that are analysed for any residues. Chromatography is another method that is used in laboratories for analysis of chemical and pesticide residue in the food products. In this method the chromatic spectrum is analysed and as each element has a different chromatic profile, it can be helpful in identifying any chemical residues in the sample. Study of chemical composition and molecular structure of the sample can be another way of testing residue in food products.
 
Need for Testing Residue
Food products need to be tested for chemical residue as the food is directly related the health of the consumer. This is the reason that the regulatory authorities all over the world are very strict about the quality of the products and how their quality is being tested. Many of the chemical traces found in food products can lead to the lethal diseases such as cancer. This is why it is mandatory for the food processing units to get their products tested for any chemical residues. Another requirement for ensuring the best quality for the food products is that the laboratory where the samples are being tested, must be equipped with all the apparatus that is required for efficient and accurate testing of the sample. In addition to that, the lab must have the credibility for the accuracy y of the data provided by them. For this, it is mandatory that the products are tested in a lab that is accredited by NABL and has certification for ISO 17025:2017. It is standard set by ISO which ensures that laboratory has adopted all the good testing practices and is ensured to provide accurate testing data for better quality of the products.
