This proficiency test will allow you to evaluate your testing ability for a range of trace elements within a food supplement. From this, valuable areas of improvement can be found, as well as demonstrating your testing standards to regulators, and customers if required.
Contaminants are often found in food and supplements, either as a natural contaminant or a contaminant from production. Trace elements in foodstuffs are not always toxic, but should be strictly controlled. Many metals in trace quantities can prove beneficial when consumed; as such it is important to quantify accurately the levels of these analytes within squid to allow customers to make well-informed and correct purchasing decisions, as well as validating labelling claims.
As supplements are usually purchased for their nutritional advantages, it is important to validate any claims made by manufacturers to ensure consumers can make well-informed purchasing decisions. To ensure this is the case it is important to ensure our testing measures are fit for purpose, through ongoing quality assurance activities, underpinned by Fapas proficiency tests.
Proficiency Testing measures from Fapas challenge your laboratories to ensure only high-quality testing practises are used. This is achieved through the use of real food matrices, from which to provide direct comparisons with your routine analysis activities. This ensures any areas for improvement are clear and able to be actioned in an efficient manner. Through the use of Fapas proficiency tests your overall testing ability can be benchmarked, from which to inform your wider quality control activities.
