SICAM Receives International "Zero Pesticide Residue" Certification
On September 29, 2025, the Tunisian company SICAM received the international "Zero Pesticide Residue" (ZRP) certification, awarded by the Italian organization CCPB, specialized in the control and certification of organic and sustainable products. This distinction, obtained after a rigorous evaluation process, marks the company's commitment to complying with international standards for food safety.
Zero Pesticide Residue Certification
The ZRP certification attests to the absence of measurable pesticide residues in finished products, according to European detection thresholds. It implies a commitment throughout the entire production chain, from the field to industrial processing, including technical supervision of partner farmers.
A Response to Growing Expectations
The adoption of this approach responds to growing expectations for transparency and food quality. It also reflects a heightened awareness of the risks associated with the intensive use of phytosanitary products. For the Tunisian agri-food sector, this is a strong signal that could pave the way for a broader dynamic of transition to more sustainable practices.
A Renewed Commitment to Consumer Health
During the award ceremony, SICAM's management mentioned a "renewed commitment to consumer health" while highlighting the efforts made to achieve this compliance. While this recognition represents an important technical milestone, it is only one step among others in a process of continuous improvement.
A Tribute to Tunisian Cultural Figures
On the sidelines of this event, a tribute was paid to two Tunisian cultural figures, the late Fethi Haddaoui and actor Lamine Nahdi, in recognition of their past contributions to the brand's image. A symbolic gesture that places the company in a broader cultural context.
This certification is a significant achievement for SICAM, demonstrating its dedication to providing high-quality, safe products to consumers while promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
