Measures ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol, reported together as ethylene oxide in mg/kg.

Ethylene oxide is not allowed as a fumigant on food in the EU, and EU limits are set on the sum of ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol. Spice and seed shipments have been recalled over it since 2020, so EU buyers often ask for this result separately from a standard pesticide screen.

Often used for: spices, herbs, seeds and spice blends going to the EU.

How it works

1. Tell us the product, the lot or supplier if you know it, and the destination market.
2. We reply with the laboratory, the test method, the turnaround and the full cost. We say whether the test is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited at that lab.
3. A sample is drawn from the lot and delivered to the lab.
4. The laboratory issues its report in its own name, directly to you.

Priced per sample, not per kilo, so testing 100 grams costs the same as testing a container. Nothing is charged until you approve the quote. You can also name a laboratory yourself, including one in your own country.
