Test Description

Animal products for human consumption are tightly legislated and closely monitored for compliance. Veterinary medicines used in animals are likely to have a pharmacological effect in humans. Hence, for many veterinary medicines, there are extremely low maximum residue limits or even no MRL (i.e. any detection is non-compliant). The Fapas proficiency test materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set. The result reporting requirements are also in keeping with quality control guidelines laid out in EC/657/2002. Fapas veterinary medicine proficiency test materials include incurred residues as well as fortified animal products. The proficiency tests are grouped in analytical chemical class/matrix combinations and combine identification and quantification. The proficiency tests are suitable for all methods, including screening methods (for the detection of total amount of that chemical class).

Pig liver itself is a key indicator organ of residues due to the liver's role within the body. Hence it is important to highlight any potentially high levels of veterinary medicines, including those within this proficiency test, in an effort to maintain high quality, safe foodstuffs offered to consumers.

Pork continues to be globally consumed in large quantities, giving supply chains and food testing laboratories challenges to maintain safe produce offered to the consumer.

Through Fapas proficiency testing activities real food matrices can be utilised from which to ensure only high quality testing arrangements can be used for your routine analysis activities. This can ensure only high quality test results are offered to your customers and regulators, safeguarding your reputation for credible, repeatable test results. The Fapas proficiency test materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set. The result reporting requirements are also in keeping with quality control guidelines laid out in EC/657/2002[JC1] .
