Lemon purée can be made up of a range of lemons, exposing consumers to the risk of pesticide contamination within this foodstuff. It is important to highlight any high levels of pesticide residues and as such effective testing measures must be utilised to safeguard the consumer against potentially unsavoury foodstuffs.
Acid herbicides are used extensively within agriculture, mainly for the control of broad-leaved weeds and usually in a safe and responsible manner. However, their use can result in potential contamination of crop plants and the associated risk for consumers.
Proficiency testing activities from Fapas challenge your laboratories in much the same way as your routine analysis activities. This gives direct comparisons from which to provide valuable insights into your current testing ability, as well as areas for improvement. This can in turn inform your wider quality assurance measures, safeguarding your high-quality testing ability for the future.
To maintain the highly effective testing measures required Fapas proficiency testing activities should be undertaken as part of a wider well-designed quality assurance programme. By using real food matrices as part of Fapas proficiency tests, your results are directly comparable to your routine analysis activities. This ensures timely improvements can be made for your customers to enjoy.
