preservatives and pesticides testing

In today’s globalized food supply chain, consumer safety and regulatory compliance are more critical than ever. For food manufacturers, exporters, and retailers in Malaysia, ensuring that products are free from harmful chemical residues is not just a legal requirement—it is a cornerstone of brand trust.


At MYCO2, we provide comprehensive Preservative and Pesticide Testing services designed to help your business meet local and international food safety standards.

Why Test for Preservatives and Pesticides?

While preservatives help extend shelf life and pesticides protect crops, excessive or unauthorized levels can pose significant health risks to consumers.

Regulatory Compliance

Adhering to the Malaysia Food Act 1983 and Food Regulations 1985 is mandatory for local market access.

Export Readiness

International markets such as the EU, USA, and China have stringent Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs). Our testing ensures your products meet these global benchmarks.

Consumer Confidence

High-quality laboratory verification proves your commitment to "Farm to Fork" safety.
