Latin American laboratories accredited by the FDA: Pillars of Product Safety and Quality in the US.

Ceimic Services, Food

CEIMIC and its Commitment to FDA Standards in the Global Market

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes the vital role of accredited laboratories abroad in ensuring the safety and quality of products destined for the U.S. market.

How does the work of FDA-accredited laboratories outside the U.S. affect consumer safety?

Foreign FDA-accredited laboratories play a crucial role by ensuring that imported products meet the same rigorous standards as domestically manufactured ones. They conduct exhaustive testing to detect potential risks and ensure regulatory compliance, significantly reducing the possibility of adulterated products in the market.

How do these laboratories contribute to international trade facilitation?

They provide a reliable infrastructure for evaluation and certification at the point of origin. This streamlines trade by ensuring regulatory compliance from the source, reducing customs inspection times and improving import process efficiency.

What is the role of these laboratories in global supply chain oversight?

They work closely with the FDA to identify public health risks, conducting audits at manufacturing and distribution facilities abroad. This proactive oversight is essential for maintaining the integrity of imported products.

CEIMIC and its laboratories in Latin America hold this accreditation, demonstrating an exceptional commitment to food safety and the promotion of global trade.

Metal analysis in wine using ICP-MS: ensuring quality and safety for global exports

Food

Metal Determination in the Wine Industry: OIV and ISO 17025 Standards

The presence of metals in wine can originate from both the fruit’s biological process and contact with industrial machinery during winemaking. Elements such as aluminum, copper, manganese, nickel, zinc, and lead exhibit varying levels of solubility and potential impact on the final product. In Argentina, the world’s tenth-largest wine exporter, academic studies have identified significant concentrations of manganese, lead, molybdenum, and cobalt that require rigorous monitoring.

To ensure safety and compliance with international regulations, the TASQA-CEIMIC Argentina laboratory performs specialized testing using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). This methodology allows for the quantification of trace metals with high precision, ensuring the product meets the requirements of the most demanding global markets. Our processes are endorsed by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV, Method OIV-MA-AS323-07) and hold ISO 17025 accreditation from A2LA.

At CEIMIC, we support the excellence of the Argentine wine industry. Contact us at info@ceimic.com

Odor pollution in the air of large cities

Air Quality, Ceimic Services

Impact of Odorous Emissions on Health and the Environment

Industrial and urban activities generate various types of atmospheric pollution, including the release of odorous molecules that compromise air quality. This phenomenon is particularly critical in large urban centers with high industrial density, wastewater systems, or solid waste accumulation. Beyond the aesthetic impact or discomfort, the presence of these compounds can exacerbate respiratory conditions such as asthma, pneumonia, and bronchitis in vulnerable populations.

It is the responsibility of companies and environmental authorities to mitigate these emissions by accurately identifying their sources. To address this challenge, the ES4I Peru laboratory, part of the international CEIMIC group and accredited under the NTP-ISO/IEC 17025 standard, offers comprehensive environmental odor studies. We have extensive certified experience in characterizing and monitoring odorous emissions, ensuring compliance with environmental quality standards.

Glyphosate analysis in coffee: meeting international standards for export

Glyphosate Determination: Food Safety and Market Requirements

Glyphosate is a widely debated herbicide due to its classification by international bodies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), which has categorized it as “probably carcinogenic.”

Various environmental organizations have also pointed to potential links with chronic, neurological, and reproductive health issues. While conclusive studies have primarily focused on animal and cellular models, the global trend in food safety increasingly leans toward the precautionary principle.

In this context, maintaining glyphosate residue levels at a minimum is not only a preventive health measure but also an essential requirement for accessing the most demanding international markets. At CEIMIC, we understand the challenges facing the coffee industry and offer high-precision analytical services for detecting this molecule. Our new laboratory in Colombia (Chía, Cundinamarca) is equipped with the technology necessary to ensure your exports comply with permitted limits and current regulations.

At CEIMIC, we protect your brand’s reputation. Contact us at +57 3103987862 for specialized analysis.
