Why is heavy metal testing so important?

Heavy metals, such as cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic, are substances that can accumulate in the body and cause serious health problems. Their presence in food may be attributable to environmental contamination or manufacturing processes. Regular testing can detect even trace amounts of these dangerous elements, ensuring consumer safety and compliance with strict standards.

What does our heavy metal testing package include?

Cadmium testing (Cd) - LOQ 0.01 mg/kg
Lead analysis (Pb) - LOQ 0.01 mg/kg
Mercury detection (Hg) - LOQ 0.01 mg/kg
Arsenic determination (As) - LOQ 0, 01 mg/kg

Each of these parameters is analyzed with extreme precision using the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) method. This advanced technique makes it possible to detect even trace amounts of heavy metals in the food samples tested.

Why choose heavy metal testing at Eurofins Laboratory?

Our tests are covered by the scope of accreditation No. AB 1334, a confirmation of the highest quality and reliability of our analyses. The full scope of accreditation is available on the website of the Polish Accreditation Center: https://www.pca.gov.pl/akredytowane-podmioty/akredytacje-aktywne/laboratoria-badawcze/AB%201334,podmiot.html. We also have accreditation No. S-406, the detailed scope of which can be found on our website: https://cdnmedia.eurofins.com/european-east/media/2857299/s-406_749-9148-2021-1_scope.pdf

We use the ICP-MS method that guarantees unparalleled precision and sensitivity of measurements. This allows us to detect even the smallest amounts of heavy metals in tested samples.
Our package includes testing of four key heavy metals: cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic. This comprehensive approach enables a full assessment of the safety of the tested food.
Low limits of quantification (LOQ): We offer an extremely low limit of quantification of 0.01 mg/kg for all heavy metals tested. This means that we are able to detect even trace amounts of these substances, which is crucial for ensuring food safety.
With advanced procedures and an experienced team, we are able to provide test results in a short time, without sacrificing the highest quality of analysis.

For whom is the heavy metal testing package designed?

Food manufacturers - ensure the compliance of your products with standards and guarantee consumer safety
Importers and exporters - make sure your products meet international standards
Trade networks - ensure the quality of the products you offer and build customer trust
Restaurants and catering companies - confirm the safety of the ingredients you use
Conscious consumers - check the heavy metal content of the products, that you consume

Heavy metal effects on human health

Heavy metals, although often found in trace amounts, can seriously affect our health. Long-term exposure to these substances can lead to a variety of health problems:

Cadmium (Cd) - can damage the kidneys and skeletal system, and increase the risk of cancer.
Lead (Pb) - adversely affects the nervous system, and can cause anemia and developmental problems in children.
Mercury (Hg) - attacks the nervous system, and can lead to vision and hearing disorders.
Arsenic (As) - increases the risk of skin, lung and bladder cancer, and can also cause cardiovascular problems.

This is why it is so important to regularly test foods for these dangerous substances.

Sources of heavy metals in food

Heavy metals can get into food in various ways:

Environmental pollution - industry, transportation and agriculture can lead to contamination of soil, water and air.
Natural occurrence - some heavy metals are naturally present in soil and water.
Production processes - improper practices in food processing can introduce heavy metals into products.
Packaging - some materials used to package food may contain traces of heavy metals.
