French term

résidu

French to English Science Nutrition health claims for foods
I am not sure of the correct term in this context:

"Enfin, sur l'utilisation du terme "naturel", son utilisation est autorisée dès lors que le produit est aussi proche que possible de son milieu d'origine, non traité, ne comportant que des constituants normaux, sans additifs ni résidus ni corps étrangers."
