Residues of chemicals in food can be an emotive subject and the regulations in place to safeguard the consumers of food products from animals treated with veterinary 
medicines sometimes go beyond pure science. Cyton’s safety team understands this context and is intimately familiar with the European Regulations and guidelines for the establishment of MRLs and withdrawal periods. Our experience with the regulators ensures that the data for your product supports the most favourable withdrawal period possible, maximising your competitive edge on the market.
