Tobacco Testing to Support Finished Product Quality
The tobacco product supply chain has many stakeholders with accountabilities to ensure quality requirements are met. In some cases, tobacco companies contract directly with tobacco growers. In other cases, the companies purchase tobacco from suppliers who purchase tobacco from growers with whom they contract.
Companies and suppliers are required to comply with all applicable laws, codes, rules, regulations, orders, and ordinances. In addition, growers must follow contract requirements from the suppliers and/or tobacco companies, which, in some cases, may be stricter than law. Growers are also typically required to follow good agricultural practice (GAP) requirements.
Thus, CPA testing helps ensure tobacco is meeting the applicable regulatory requirements and company Quality requirements for maximum residue limits (MRLs).
