EFSA-Compliant Residual Solvent Testing in Food Additives: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has established guidelines for the testing of residual solvents in food additives. These guidelines are based on various international and national standards, including ISO, ASTM, EN, TSE, and others. The following sections provide an overview of the relevant standards that govern EFSA-Compliant Residual Solvent Testing in Food Additives.

International Standards

  • ISO 11095:2018: This standard specifies the requirements for the testing of residual solvents in food additives.

  • ASTM E1616-18: This standard provides a method for the determination of residual solvents in food additives using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

  • EN 12457-2:2018: This European Standard specifies the requirements for the testing of residual solvents in food additives.

    • National Standards

  • TSE 1126:2019: This Turkish standard provides a method for the determination of residual solvents in food additives using GC-MS.

  • DIN EN 12457-2:2018: This German standard specifies the requirements for the testing of residual solvents in food additives.

    • Standard Development Organizations

  • The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing international standards for EFSA-Compliant Residual Solvent Testing in Food Additives.
