Herbicide/Pesticide List RequestUpdated 2 months ago
At this time, we are unable to provide the list, as it may vary per product and is ever-evolving. That said, please see the below statement regarding our herbicide and pesticide testing:
Dietary Supplement and all Food Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that pesticides used on ingredients for its finished products are:
1. Approved / Legal for Use
2. Result in pesticide residues below maximum thresholds
MegaFood takes this obligation to consumers seriously and includes a testing program to verify that these responsibilities are met.
· All finished products are tested to ensure compliance.
· Each individual test includes checking for the residue of over 150 pesticides available to the agricultural industry.
MegaFood has a robust ingredient supplier qualification program that includes:
· Documentation Review
· Auditing
· Testing
Ingredient suppliers are chosen carefully to ensure that pesticides are only used when necessary. Integrated pest management (IPM) is encouraged, which is a process to solve pest problems while minimizing risks to people and the environment (example irrigation practices). Organic ingredients are used when feasible.
The testing program is a verification activity to ensure the ingredient supplier selection and management program is working to serve consumers best.
