What it is
Salvia hispanica grown by established operations in the NOA and Buenos Aires provinces, selected on one condition before anything else: the crop comes off the field on its own natural dry-down, fully mechanised, with no pre-harvest desiccation. Desiccation is the overwhelming route glyphosate, diquat and paraquat take into seed, so the practice is what makes the polar panel read the way it does. We still run the panel on every lot, because a practice is not a proof.
How it is proven
Every lot is analysed before it is offered, not after it is claimed. The residue panel runs at Primoris in Belgium — multiresidue plus the polars, LC-MS/MS on the QuPPe polar method, ISO/IEC 17025. Heavy metals, microbiology, purity and moisture run alongside it at accredited European laboratories. We report the figure on each analyte you list, not a pass. The analytical file travels with the cargo.
