Verifying Purity and Safety Against Chemical Contaminants
Global food chains face growing risks from chemical hazards including agrochemical misuse, industrial pollution, and mycotoxin exposure. Compliance with Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) set by Codex Alimentarius, the FDA, and the EU relies on accurate, trace-level analytical testing.
BQCIS laboratories employ advanced LC-MS/MS and ICP-OES platforms to detect contaminants down to parts-per-billion precision. These capabilities ensure product safety, regulatory conformity, and consumer protection while reducing the risk of detentions or recalls.
Our accredited testing covers diverse matrices—produce, grains, seafood, and processed goods—delivering the validated data required for cross-border market access and full supply-chain transparency.

Success Story
Mitigating Heavy Metal Risk in Imported Spice Blends
A major importer faced repeated border rejections due to elevated lead and cadmium in spice blends, jeopardizing a key supply chain.
BQCIS established a vendor-based pre-shipment testing program using ICP-MS analysis and supply-chain traceability audits, isolating contamination sources at the farm level.
All subsequent shipments met compliance standards. Product detentions ceased, restoring trade flow and strengthening supplier accountability.
