Food Testing
What You Should Know
Testing food for lead is essential to ensure the safety and health of consumers. Lead contamination in food can occur through various sources, including contaminated soil, water, and manufacturing processes. By regularly testing food items for lead, we can identify and eliminate potential hazards before they reach your table. Utilizing advanced testing methods, such as Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), ensures precise detection of even the smallest traces of lead, helping to protect you and your loved ones from the harmful effects of lead poisoning. Stay informed and vigilant about the safety of your food to promote a healthier lifestyle.
Things that we consume like food and water are tested in measurements called parts per billion (ppb) instead of parts per million (ppm). Because of this, the chemical test kits like scitus and Fluoro-Spec are not sensitive enough to detect the presence of lead in food and water. We use a Graphite Furncace Atomic Absorption Spectrometer to find lead in these situations.
