Acrylamide
Food processing can itself produce contaminants due to chemical reactions. One of these processing contaminants is Acrylamide which is formed at high temperature in starch rich foods such as potato crisps (chips). It is a potential carcinogen and, although maximum limits in foods are not legislated, monitoring is still routine in the industry.
Fapas proficiency tests utilised real food samples to provide as close to true routine testing environments to provide useful comparisons between your proficiency tests and routine testing capabilities. This gives you the confidence to make key decisions with quality control and continuous improvement of your testing capabilities.
Fapaps offers similar processing contaminant proficiency tests, including Melamine. Melamine came to prominence as an illegal additive to pet food and infant formula to increase the apparent protein content. Melamine transforms to cyanuric acid and, in combination, the two compounds complex and can form dangerous crystals in the kidney causing serious health problems. The adulteration of foods with melamine is still a risk.
