Approved list of plant protection products
The Grower Organisation and the processor have developed a positive list of plant protection products which can be used by the farm. This allows the specific approval of all pesticides which can be used by the farm and gives the factory the ability to carry out residue testing to cover these specific chemicals and reject any products which fail to comply with the residue limits set, therefore protecting consumer health.
