Animal products for human consumption are tightly legislated and closely monitored for compliance. Veterinary medicines used in animals are likely to have a pharmacological effect in humans. Hence, for many veterinary medicines, there are extremely low maximum residue limits or even no MRL (i.e. any detection is non-compliant). The Fapas proficiency test materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set. The result reporting requirements are also in keeping with quality control guidelines laid out in EC/657/2002. Fapas veterinary medicine proficiency test materials include incurred residues as well as fortified animal products. The proficiency tests are grouped in analytical chemical class/matrix combinations and combine identification and quantification. The proficiency tests are suitable for all methods, including screening methods (for the detection of total amount of that chemical class).
Your testing ability for illegal dyes used as veterinary medicines such as malachite green (plus leuco-MG and total MG), crystal violet (plus leuco-CV and total CV) and brilliant green will be evaluated within this proficiency test.
Veterinary medicines are strictly controlled across a range of foodstuffs. This is due to the potentially detrimental effects to health which can occur when consumed in large enough numbers. To ensure only high quality products are offered to consumers, your effective testing practices should be used to highlight high levels of illegal dyes across bovine milk.
Bovine milk is consumed globally and accounts for a large amount of the milk consumed worldwide. As such is is imperative to highlight low quality produce, and produce which may not be safe to consume.
Fapas proficiency tests can be used to highlight areas of improvement within your current testing arrangement. Fapas proficiency tests make use of high quality, real food matrices from which to ensure direct comparisons between your current testing arrangement and proficiency test results. This can ensure timely improvements are made across your testing practice, safeguarding the high quality testing measures required to satisfy your customers and regulators alike.
