New Year Goods Safety Testing Service 5TH: Tea and Related Products Testing Service
Tea is a must-have for receiving guests during the Spring Festival. Longjing, Pu'er, black tea, white tea and other types of tea are the "elegant choice" on the New Year shopping list. Tea drinks, tea cakes, tea pastries and other related products are even more delicious snacks shared by the whole family. However, behind this elegance and deliciousness, the safety hazards of tea and related products are easily overlooked: Are pesticide residues in tea excessive? Is heavy metal content beyond the limit? Are there any illegally added colorants or flavors in tea products? Do microorganisms meet the standards?
When choosing tea as New Year goods, quality is the bottom line and safety is the key! Professional third-party testing is like a "quality filter", accurately controlling the safety barriers of tea and related products, building a bridge of trust between production and sales ends, and bringing two-way security guarantee.
1. These Safety Hazards of Tea and Related Products Need to Be Vigilant
In the tea planting stage, improper use of pesticides may lead to excessive residues of various pesticides. Heavy metals in the soil may be absorbed by tea through roots, resulting in excessive levels of lead, cadmium and other indicators. For tea drinks, tea cakes and other related products, during the production and processing, there may be problems such as excessive microbial content, illegal addition of artificial colorants, and off-label use of sweeteners. These hidden dangers cannot be distinguished by the naked eye, but are directly related to the health of family members. Especially during the festival, the consumption of tea and related products is large, so quality and safety cannot be taken lightly at all.
2. Why Third-Party Testing Is the Key to Solving These Hidden Dangers?
As a formal third-party testing institution, our company has China Metrology Accreditation (CMA) and China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) qualifications, with the core advantages of "impartiality, credibility and expertise". We are not affiliated to any manufacturing enterprise and can carry out testing from an objective and neutral standpoint. Our testing items fully cover the key safety indicators of tea and related products, strictly in accordance with the requirements of relevant national standards. Through accurate testing data, we intuitively present the product quality status and eliminate unqualified products from the source.
3. For Consumers: Choose Tea with Confidence and Enjoy It with Peace of Mind
Faced with a wide range of tea and tea products on the market, it is difficult for consumers to judge the internal safety only by appearance and taste. The third-party testing report is the most intuitive "quality specification", helping you easily avoid safety traps. When purchasing tea, you can confirm whether key indicators such as pesticide residues and heavy metals meet the standards through the testing report. Whether it is nourishing Pu'er selected for elders or tea cakes bought for children, you can buy them with confidence. Giving tea gift boxes with testing reports to relatives and friends during visits not only conveys elegance, but also full of peace of mind and sincerity.
4. For Producers: Boost Peak Season Sales and Support Brand Upgrading
The festival period is the sales peak season for tea and related products, and quality is the market competitiveness. Our company can help enterprises accurately control the whole-process quality: from screening pesticide residues and heavy metals in raw tea materials, to microbial control in the production and processing links, and then to compliance testing of additives in finished products. We help enterprises identify potential safety hazards in advance, avoid product recalls and reputation damage caused by unqualified random inspections, and ensure normal operation during the peak season. At the same time, authoritative testing endorsement can significantly improve product credibility. Displaying testing reports in publicity can quickly win the trust of distributors and consumers, help expand sales channels, assist enterprises in achieving compliant operation, gain a firm foothold in the fierce New Year goods market, and promote brand image upgrading.
