Microbiological contamination of food can cause a range of sickness symptoms, the most extreme of which can result in hospitalisation, contamination can also cause food spoilage. Contamination can result from raw ingredients, poor sanitation or hygiene practices, or inappropriate storage conditions. As such it is crucial to ensure your testing practises and measures are accurate and to a high enough standard to appease your customers and regulators of your ability to highlight potential contamination in a range of foodstuffs.
Fapas proficiency tests can challenge your laboratories as within your real-world routine analysis activities, from which to provide a benchmark of your testing ability across a range of factors. This can inform your wider quality assurance efforts, to maintain the high quality testing ability required.
Our Food Microbiology proficiency test samples combine the test organisms into real food matrices or swabs, together with background flora to fully represent real-world samples. The importance of good overall hygiene screening can inform your more specific tests as many key themes are shared from general hygiene screening processes. This proficiency test can therefore allow you to predict any issues your specific contamination tests may incur within your testing laboratory.
