Start with the applicable limit
Terms such as “pesticide residue free”, “EU compliant” or “export quality” are incomplete unless the buyer identifies the destination standard, analyte list, reporting limit, sampling method and accepted laboratory evidence.
Evidence boundary: UrbanFresh confirms the applicable laboratory evidence against the offered lot and buyer brief. This page does not claim one permanent numerical limit or one universal test scope for every destination.
The review sequence
- Buyer supplies the destination brief.
Country, product, applicable MRL schedule, private standard and any named laboratory requirement. - Mill reviews product feasibility.
Variety, processing type, crop, volume, production window and evidence required. - Sampling and testing scope are agreed.
The parties identify the sample, stage, analytes, method and report recipient. - Current evidence is reviewed.
Acceptance is tied to the offered lot and buyer-approved report, not a permanent website promise.
What a certificate-of-analysis discussion should cover
| Identity | Product, crop, lot or batch reference and sampling date. |
|---|---|
| Physical specification | Moisture, broken, grain length, purity, damage, discolouration and foreign matter as applicable. |
| Residue scope | Destination-specific analytes, limits, reporting units and laboratory method. |
| Decision | Buyer review, exceptions, retest rules and relationship to the final shipment. |
