Special tips: plant extracts should also prevent agricultural residues from exceeding the standard

Recently, many batches of plant extracts exported to the United States in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province have been returned due to excessive pesticide residues, similar to the first time in recent years Plant extract is a product of one or more components which are obtained and concentrated from plant materials by modern extraction and separation technology Widely used in pharmaceutical raw materials, health products, cosmetics, food additives and other industries In recent two years, the export volume of plant extracts in China has been increasing The United States and other countries pay more attention to plant extracts, and the technical trade measures are increasingly strict Plant extract itself is a product with very high effective ingredients Due to the large range of extraction and concentration, solvent residues and pesticide residues are easy to exceed the standard, and the domestic industry standard is still imperfect The first batch of international business standards for plant extracts organized by China Medical Insurance chamber of Commerce has been officially implemented since October 1, 2013, but only 7 plant extracts are allowed In recent years, with the developed countries increasing the intensity of sampling inspection for pesticide residues in plant extracts, the risk of pesticide residues in this kind of products is increasingly prominent In this regard, the inspection and quarantine department suggested that relevant export enterprises: first, improve batch traceability, improve production process, enhance self inspection and self-control ability of enterprises and export quality and safety control ability; second, strengthen risk analysis, enhance raw material acceptance and finished product testing, and reduce pesticide residues from raw materials to finished products in an all-round way; third, strengthen cooperation with the inspection and quarantine department, docking and sharing with foreign countries The research on technical trade measures focuses on the change of pesticide residue limits, and is alert to all kinds of notifications and returns.
