Do you know what is actually being found?
For this commodity and origin, which pesticide residues are being detected or quantified in official monitoring—and, where quantitative data are available, in what range?
The operational challenge
For a real portfolio, the workload multiplies quickly: dozens or hundreds of commodities across origins and markets, with hundreds of possible residues. The question is not whether your team can find another MRL table. It is whether you can defend which pesticides deserve priority for each supply chain.
For this commodity and origin, which pesticide residues are being detected or quantified in official monitoring—and, where quantitative data are available, in what range?
Separate tested-not-detected from not analyzed or simply not reported. Missing rows must never become reassurance.
Once priority analytes are identified, confirm that method and matrix scope, LOQ or sensitivity, and accreditation evidence are fit for the relevant regulatory question.
Turn destination, commodity, origin and evidence context into a candidate testing panel with a clear rationale for why each analyte is included.
A risk-based programme does not treat every analyte equally. It identifies the highest-value testing priorities first, then verifies them with fit-for-purpose analytical capability and the applicable regulatory limits.
Decision-ready outputs
Pest IQ keeps the decision signal, its strength and its limitations visible together.
A categorical, explainable testing signal—not a health-risk score.
An independent view of evidence coverage and limitations.
Concise rationale with authority, programme and sampling context.
Evidence-informed analytes for laboratory and quality-team review.
MRL / limit lookup
Essential for compliance review and complementary to Pest IQ.
Pest IQ
Pest IQ helps determine what deserves analytical attention and why; compliance against the applicable limit remains a separate regulatory and laboratory verification.
Choose destination and commodity.
Add origin if relevant; analyte is optional.
Review priorities, evidence strength and rationale.
Review the evidence-informed analyte shortlist.
Initial validated core evidence families include U.S. FDA, USDA PDP and EFSA. Pest IQ is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by these agencies.
Missing evidence is not treated as low risk. Detected, tested-not-detected and unknown remain distinct. Targeted and surveillance programmes are not blindly pooled.
