Babyfood
| For many decades, Obipektin has been an innovative and reliable ingredient supplier for the babyfood industry. The name Obipektin stands for outstanding quality and highest product safety and has an excellent reputation through the most established world wide babyfood manufacturers. Babyfood is generally characterized by its pure and natural ingredients.
The requirements in terms of pesticide residues are thereby particularly
strict. Compared with foods for conventional use, the tolerable
amount of every single pesticide residue lies at 10 ppb (0.01 mg/kg
or 1 g/100 t), which is in line with the limit of detection for
many pesticide compounds. |

However, not exceeding the tolerable amount of pesticide residues is not always simple, since the ingredients and therefore the pesticide residues are concentrated up to 9 fold higher during the drying process.
Given that the technically possible detection limit for most of the pesticide residues lies at 10 ppb, it is not sufficient to analyze only the raw material as the limits could be exceeded by a multiple after drying. To avoid this, raw materials have to be selected very carefully and a sample of every batch has to be dried to analyze its pesticide residues.Through its involvement in the babyfood industry, Obipektin cultivates
a close collaboration with its farmers to ensure a strong compliance
with the babyfood requirements. This takes place either through direct
or indirect contract farming. As a result of the spray plans, as part of the documentation
and the results of the sample analyzes, we will optimize and adjust the
spray plans for the following year accordingly.
