Fruit and vegetables

Sectors

Fruit and vegetables must meet strict safety, hygiene and quality standards before reaching consumers. At QTI Services, we offer fast testing to detect pesticide residues, verify nutritional values and identify potential contaminants such as viruses or bacteria.

Our laboratory provides a wide range of analyses including organic residue testing, nutritional profiling and microbiological screening, all focused on ensuring food safety and compliance with standards such as GlobalGAP.
