FreshTest is the largest and most comprehensive testing program in Australian Horticulture FreshTest is an Australian Chamber of Fruit and Vegetable Industries initiative to provide low cost MRL (chemical residue) and microbial testing for Wholesalers and their Growers in Australia's Central Markets. The tests are confidential and are used for verification for food safety and Quality Assurance systems. Since its introduction in December 2001 FreshTest has grown to become the largest and most comprehensive horticultural residue-testing program undertaken in Australia. It continues to grow as more industry participants make use of the facility.   The benefits of using FreshTest We have a dedicated and experienced team who know the industry and provide personalised service. We do all the hard work. The Australian Chamber has negotiated significant price reductions with a number of laboratories around the country, and by coordinating bulk testing from a central location, substantial reductions in administration fees have also been realised. These saving are passed on to clients. The program is much more streamlined than trying to organise tests as an individual easy process to follow and only takes one phone call for all your testing. Results are easy to read and are turned around quickly. Duplication of testing has also been eliminated through the establishment of a database to manage the requests and results. Laboratory Accreditation All laboratories used in the FreshTest program are National Association of Testing Agencies (NATA) accredited. Did you know?
