Smarter Pesticide Testing: An Industry Guide to Risk, Compliance, and Action

Smarter Pesticide Testing: An Industry Guide to Risk, Compliance, and Action

Pesticide testing is an essential component of modern produce safety systems but determining when and how to test, and how to respond to findings can be complex.

A new white paper – Strategic Approaches to Pesticide Testing in Produce – was created by industry subject matter experts to provide practical, risk-based guidance to help stakeholders navigate this complexity. The white paper is supported by AFFI, AgroLab Mexico and Food Safety Strategy.

This webinar will walk through key insights from the paper, including:

• When pesticide testing is necessary and what triggers it
• How Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) reduce risk
• Key regulatory considerations, including U.S. tolerances (MRLs) and global requirements
• How to select appropriate laboratories and testing approaches
• Practical steps for responding to violative pesticide results

 Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to apply a strategic, risk-based approach to pesticide testing that supports compliance, supplier verification, and overall food safety performance.
