As your dedicated partner in food safety and quality analysis, we want to inform you of a significant change affecting the agricultural export community. Access to the free, government-sponsored database for Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) has recently been restricted, creating a potential information gap for many growers and producers.

Understanding and meeting the MRLs for each destination country is critical for ensuring market access and avoiding costly shipment rejections. Without a reliable source for this data, navigating the complexities of global trade becomes significantly more challenging.

Your Expert Solution at Columbia Laboratories

At Columbia Laboratories, we are committed to providing you with certainty. To bridge this gap, we have invested in full, direct access to the comprehensive global MRL database. As the expert pesticide testing lab within the Tentamus North America network, we are uniquely positioned to help you.

We now offer two enhanced services to keep your business moving forward:

  • Global MRL Reports: Add a detailed report for up to 20 countries directly alongside your pesticide test results.
  • MRL Consultation: Receive expert guidance and data for specific countries and commodities, with no sample submission required.

Our goal is to provide the clear, accurate, and timely MRL information you need to ship your products with confidence.
