Ensure wild organic rice is free from harmful quat residues with Indigo® QAC test strips. Verify sanitation during harvesting, washing, and storage, protect export quality, and meet HACCP, FSMA, and USDA Organic certification standards.

Residual quat test strips (10–100 ppm) provide reliable verification that sanitizing agents used in wild organic rice processing and packaging meet safety standards while leaving minimal residues. Organic food processors face strict regulations, especially for export markets where HACCP compliance, USDA organic certification, and third-party inspections require proof that QAC sanitizers are controlled. These easy-to-use test strips allow rice processors to document sanitizer levels quickly, ensuring both food safety and organic integrity.

All Indigo® Quat (QAC) test strips come in 100 (not 50) strips per pack & 3 year minimum guaranteed shelf life backed by a Certificate of Analysis, Stability & SDS documents as listed below; Certificate of Conformance on request. Be prepared for any health & safety audit or inspection.

Best Practices for Wild Organic Rice Facilities

  • Verify sanitizer residues on hulling, washing, and packaging equipment are ≤100 ppm, using Indigo® residual QAC test strips which detect down to 10 ppm.
  • Rinse surfaces thoroughly after sanitation to avoid chemical residues that could compromise “organic” certification.
  • Keep inspection logs demonstrating compliance with NOP organic standards and FSMA requirements.
  • Highlight compliance to build consumer trust in wild rice marketed as clean-label and sustainably grown.

The directions on the test strip bottle are for testing liquid quat solutions. To test surfaces for residues you must first wet the strip's testing pad with water (deionized or distilled if available). Then press against surfaces for at least 10 seconds & then compare against the color chart.

Levels less than "10" ppm are impossible to determine but some organic certifications call for "0" ppm. This is because water alone causes a reading of 10ppm. Read more in our blog on What 10ppm really means? when measured on surfaces of machinery, knives, cutting boards, fruits or vegetables & so on.

Swish strip in liquid 5 times & then compare to color chart after 10 seconds for reading at ≤10-30-60-80-100ppm ppm for quaternary ammonium disinfectant concentration.

  • Indigo® test strips have a guaranteed minimum 3 year shelf life but are stored in desiccant lined vials so actual shelf life can be 5+ years.
  • For technical explanation, read: Sanitizer Test Strip Expiration; Good Today, Dead Tomorrow?
  • These strips measure any quat formulation
  • Indigo® QAC test strips are calibrated for Oasis 146: see details. Consult your supplier if necessary.
  • The number of strips (100) per vial is approximate.
