Test Description

Soft drinks contain a variety of additives used to enhance flavour, shelf life, nutritional composition and quality. These all create the unique taste of each product. However in cola drinks, the levels of phosphoric acid and caffeine are regulated.

This quality control material is useful for highlighting the levels of a range of artificial colourants within your soft drink test material.

Colours within foodstuffs have a large impact on the financial success of products, by impacting on consumers’ purchasing decisions. Proficiency testing measures from Fapas can allow your testing abilities to be evaluated to ensure high levels of these additives are highlighted and quantified.

In order to provide a high-quality product, is important to give consumers a true choice, be it through correct nutritional value labelling or other means, using proficiency testing is paramount to maintain this.  Accurate testing is also key to providing effective support and protection of product qualities such as flavour, which adds to the product's unique selling points in a competitive consumer market. Without robust testing practices and quality control procedures, both food and beverage manufacturers and consumers are vulnerable to lower quality products that may not be safe to consume or could have a negative effect on the consumer brand and reputation.

Quality control materials are an ideal tool for removing any bias from your current testing practices. These materials are also invaluable for providing insight into your quality assurance efforts, by providing an accurate way to plot your progression throughout the year, within wider proficiency testing activities.
