Test Description

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 quality control materials utilise real food samples to provide as close to true routine testing environments to provide useful comparisons between your quality assurance efforts and routine testing capabilities. This gives you the confidence to make key decisions about quality control and continuous improvement of your testing capabilities.

Fapas 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.

Quality control materials from Fapas make use of real food materials, from which to ensure direct comparisons between your quality assurance activities and routine analysis. This can maintain the high-quality testing measures currently offered to customers. Fapas quality control materials are ideal for removing bias from your current testing arrangement, through staff training activities or instrumentation verification. This can form a valuable tool to ensure your customers, and regulators, receive the credible test results they require.
