What Is SINTOX and Why It Matters for Pest Control in Mexico?
SINTOX and Its Importance for Your Audits and Compliance
In Mexico, the National Toxic Substances Information System (SINTOX), managed by the Ministry of Health (Secretaría de Salud), is a key tool for ensuring that the pesticides and chemical products used in pest control are safe, legal, and properly regulated.
At Fucesa, every product we use:
- Has COFEPRIS health registration.
- Is listed and validated in SINTOX.
- Complies with NOM-256-SSA1-2012 and other applicable regulations.
This means every active ingredient, concentration, and toxicological classification is documented and backed by the health authority. Safety data sheets, use restrictions, and handling, storage, and disposal guidelines are also available.
For your company, especially if you operate under schemes such as HACCP, AIB, SQF, ISO 22000, or other food safety systems, this translates into:
- Full traceability of the products applied.
- Documentary support for internal and external audits.
- Reduced risk to health, food, personnel, and the environment.
Our reports include the health registration number of every product used, making it easy to respond to any request from auditors, clients, or authorities.
By working with Fucesa, you can be confident that pest control at your facilities is carried out with authorized, technically justified products aligned with best practices in food safety and regulatory compliance in Mexico.
