Eurofins offers rapid turnaround for Morpholine testing on fruit

The FSA has highlighted Morpholine on fruit as being of issue.

Morpholine is used in glazes on fresh produce, such as apples and citrus fruit  and is permitted in various countries outside of the EU, including South Africa, Chile, the USA and Canada. No application has been made to approve this additive in the EU, therefore it should not be present on food on sale in member states.

The full FSA Advice issued on fruit glazed with wax containing morpholine is available here.

Eurofins can offer accredited testing for this active, morpholine with rapid turnarounds.
