Test Description

Infant cereals are a very popular and convenient means of providing nutricious meals when weaning to solid foods. As infants have low body mass, exposure to potentially harmful contaminants could have a disproportionate affect, and there is a common desire to ensure that the exposure of infants to potentially dangerous materials is minised as far as is practically possible

Acrylamide is formed at high temperatures in starch rich foods such as infant cereals. It is a potential carcinogen and, although maximum limits in foods are not legislated, monitoring is still routine in the industry.

The risk to the consumer is potentially large; as such accurate testing to protect the consumer is required to satisfy both regulators and manufacturers. Testing against Fapas quality control materials can be used to encourage high quality testing across your laboratory.
