Chlorate Standards for Food and Water Testing

Chlorate is a contaminant found in water and food products treated with chlorinated disinfectants. Chlorate has been identified as potentially harmful to human health, especially within the thyroid system, and with greatest concern for children. The World Health Organization (WHO) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have set guidelines for chlorate levels in food and drinking water. CIL now offers a complete set of related food/water contaminant standards that includes perchloric acid, potassium chlorate, and potassium bromate.
