Pesticide Residue Testing for Grains & Hops in the UK
If you grow, process, or export grains or hops in the UK, pesticide residue testing is essential to protect your brand and comply with strict safety regulations. Our UK-based laboratory offers reliable, high-sensitivity testing for pesticide residues in cereal grains and hops, helping you meet UK, EU, and international standards.

- Demonstrating due diligence to regulatory bodies and retail partners
- Protecting your reputation as a safe, responsible supplier
