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. Our Food Microbiology test samples combine the test organisms into real food matrices or swabs, together with background flora to fully represent real-world samples.
This quantitative proficiency test evaluates your testing ability for an Aerobic Plate Count and the enumeration of Bacillus cereus in milk powder.
Milk powder is used within a plethora of foodstuffs, from processed foods to individual products sold to the consumer. As such there may be an increased strain on global supply chains to satisfy consumer demand. This can lead to a number of challenges including storage issues that may not be overcome by suppliers and require your effective testing measures to highlight.
Bacillus cereus is a bacterium found within large amounts of food products and usually forms through poor storage practises associated with complex, usually global, supply chains. Effective proficiency tests are required to highlight these potentially harmful levels of contamination, when offered to consumers.
Quality control materials are the perfect way to track your progress against a control. Utilising this as a quality control material can give an ideal platform from which to compare results across a range of operating conditions to track your changes over time. All with the goal of a long-term improved testing ability.
Fapas quality control materials can be used to validate whether a testing instrument or process is operating within pre-defined specifications. This validation process makes sure your test results are as close to the true value as possible, and therefore your testing process is as credible as it can be.
