Contaminants

What are Contaminants?

Contaminants are substances that haven't been purposely added to food, but they may grow at any stage of the supply chain, from agricultural production to transport, processing, and packaging. They shouldn't be in food, but if they are, it should be at very low and controlled levels.

Contaminant testing is important as contaminants pose a risk to public health and due to this, they may cause products to fail regulatory limits.
