Analyses of pesticides and other organic chemicals

NIBIO Biotechnology and Plant Health, Department of Pesticides and Natural Products Chemistry is the national reference laboratory for the analysis of pesticide residues in food of plant origin. Food safety is our priority and we are responsible for all analyzes, follow-up of sampling and reporting in connection with the Norwegian Food Safety Authority's monitoring program for pesticide residues in food of plant origin. In cooperation with the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, we prepare sampling plans, sampling instructions, annual reports and EU reports. We carry out the monitoring program for plant toxins in selected grain-based products on behalf of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
