Restricted Substances

A comprehensive database of pesticides, veterinary drugs, heavy metals, food additive use limits, vitamins, botanical ingredients and non-food product ingredient limits

Maximum residue limits (MRLs), use limits, and banned substance lists are constantly being updated by authorities around the world. There is no harmonization for these regulations and so, to successfully predict risks and ensure compliance, you would need to find a way to navigate an impossible number of diverse sources to find the right information.
