Why test for Pesticide Screen?
Screens for common pesticide residues including organophosphates, pyrethroids, and neonicotinoids — neuroactive compounds that regulators limit because of documented health concerns, including effects studied most closely in children. None of it appears on the label, and levels can vary between products.

How The Test Is Performed
The food sample is blended and cleaned up using a quick preparation method called QuEChERS ("catchers"). The extract is then passed through GC-MS and LC-MS/MS that can separate and identify hundreds of different pesticides in a single run — like scanning a crowd and recognizing hundreds of faces at once.
Good foods to test
- Strawberries & berries
- Apples & stone fruit
- Leafy greens (spinach, kale, lettuce)
- Grapes & raisins
- Bell peppers & hot peppers
- Tomatoes
- Oats & wheat products
