Infant feed

Sectors

Infant nutrition requires the highest standards of safety and purity. Because babies are more vulnerable to chemical exposure, infant feed is subject to stricter regulations than general food, particularly when it comes to pesticide residues.

At QTI Services, we offer specialised testing in line with the EU’s dedicated infant food regulation, which sets significantly lower maximum residue levels. Our analyses help ensure that your products meet legal requirements and provide the safest possible start in life for the youngest consumers.
