Residues and pest management

Bio Suisse wants as few residues in organic products as possible.

The organic producers and processors do their utmost to reduce them. In a conventional environment, however, not all residues can be avoided, therefore there is no zero tolerance. Any residue in organic products is assessed individually and improvement measures are taken. Read on this site the principles of Bio Suisse re residues in organic products, on what basis the decisions for the marketing of organic products with residues are based and how you can assess and reduce these risks.

More information on how to assess and avoid residues can be found on the German and French sites.
