Monitoring

Twinings, in common with the rest of the food and drinks industry, fully recognises its duty to supply safe, wholesome and nutritious products and is therefore dedicated to minimising the level of pesticide residues in food.

We buy on the open market and have no direct control over how the tea is grown. We believe that pesticide residues in tea provide an insignificant contribution to pesticide intake from dietary sources. Nevertheless we actively monitor our raw materials for pesticide residues and work with all the relevant parties to ensure that, where practical, pesticides are eliminated and where their use is unavoidable that they are used at minimum levels in accord with good agricultural practice and relevant legislation.
