Nuts & dried fruits

Sectors

Nuts and dried fruits are sensitive products that require close monitoring for quality, food safety and legal compliance. At QTI Services, we offer a wide range of analyses to detect contaminants, verify nutritional values and assess microbiological safety.

We test for residues such as dioxins, PCBs, heavy metals and pesticides. Our microbiological analyses include total aerobic count and virus screening. We also provide precise data on protein, fat and overall nutritional composition.

Fungal growth is a common risk during storage and handling of nuts, often leading to mycotoxins like aflatoxin. These substances are strictly regulated in the EU due to their health risks. QTI Services offers fast and accurate testing to determine if levels remain within legal limits.

With QTI Services, you ensure safe, compliant and high quality products from farm to packaging.
