Vitamins, in the correct amounts, are vital for human health. Each vitamin has a different function in the human body. Manufacturers need to be confident in the vitamin declaration they make on their products to meet legislation and for consumer confidence. The analysis of different vitamins in foods requires different methods for an accurate determination.
Participants will be asked to report vitamin B1 as thiamine (MW 265.35), total vitamin B2 as riboflavin (MW 376.36), vitamin B6 as pyridoxine (MW 169.18), total niacin as the sum of nicotinic acid (MW 123.11) and nicotinamide (MW 122.12), folic acid as the free folic acid only (MW 441.40), vitamin B12 as cyanocobalamin (MW 1355.38).
Breakfast cereal is known to account for a significant amount of vitamins and other nutrients during our day. Breakfast cereals continue to be sold under a healthy banner with manufacturers making health benefit claims about their products.
It is important food testing laboratories hold manufacturers to account for any nutritional claims they may be making, and highlight when these claims are unfounded. This not only protects the consumer, but can save manufacturers from any loss of face associated with unfounded nutritional claims.
Proficiency testing measures should be used as part of a wide quality assurance programme. Fapas proficiency tests make use of real food matrices from which to provide direct comparisons to your routine analysis activities. This can produce directly actionable insights from your proficiency test results, from which to provide a clear road map to safeguard your high quality testing standards across a range of matrices including breakfast cereal.
