MacNut Survey Program (NRS)

Government sponsored program with the primary function of monitoring chemical residues and environmental contaminants.

Samples of the oil are collected from approximately ten processing plants in New South Wales and Queensland and tested by NRS.

MacNut Oil is in 100% compliance with Australian standards for Multi-Screen residue tests for organochlorines, organophosphates, synthetic prethroids, carbamates, rodenticides, fungicides and herbicides.

Two herbicides (glyphosate and paraquat), which were not included in the multi-screen residue tests, were not detected.
All samples were screened for metals including cadmium, mercury, lead and the essential micronutrients copper and selenium. These elements occur naturally and concentrations at reportable levels are not unusual in biological samples, but none were found.
