Empowering Safety and Compliance Through Advanced Toxicology Expertise
Toxicological evaluation of consumer products assesses their safety, potential health risks, and regulatory compliance before market approval. It ensures that ingredients and materials used in products do not pose harmful effects to consumers through oral, dermal, or inhalation exposure.
Food Contact Materials (FCMs) and Food Additive Evaluation ensure that materials and substances used in food packaging, processing, and additives are safe, non-toxic, and compliant with regulatory standards.
Pesticide Risk Assessment evaluates the potential risks of pesticide residues in food and the environment to ensure consumer safety and regulatory compliance. The Maximum Residue Level (MRL) is the highest concentration of pesticide residues legally permitted in food and feed, established by the European Union (EU) under Regulation (EC) 396/2005.
Exposure assessment evaluates the amount, frequency, and route by which consumers come into contact with chemical substances present in products. It helps determine potential health risks and ensures regulatory compliance.
GRAS is a designation for substances added to food that are generally recognized, among qualified experts, as safe under the conditions of their intended use. GRAS substances are exempt from the premarket approval requirements that apply to food additives, as defined under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).
Pesticide risk assessment is a scientific process used by the USEPA to evaluate the potential risks associated with the use of pesticides. It involves analyzing the likelihood and severity of adverse effects on human health, the environment, and non-target species.
