Test Description

Halal compliance check, this test focuses on the contamination of halal beef with pork by testing for pork DNA. This tests the detection capability of extremely low levels of pork in meat claiming to be halal.

Species of origin testing is paramount when providing halal compliance checks. This is commonly carried out using DNA sequencing, or specific protein marker analysis. The DNA structure of specific meats is different, so by close inspection of the sequence order, you can identify the species.

Halal compliance is a growing challenge for producers and manufacturers to address. There is a number of Halal certification authorities world wide. These authorities might require testing laboratories to be flexible in detection of pork DNA in a wide range of foodstuffs.

Within this proficiency test the ability to detect pork DNA in beef at low levels of detection is scrutinised. This challenges your laboratory to achieve reliable, repeatable results to satisfy regulators and mitigate any potential risks of contaminated beef foodstuffs being passed to the consumer.

This Fapas proficiency test makes effective use of real food matrices. This creates proficiency test results that are immediately comparable to your routine testing arrangement, from which to provide feedback of improvements needed to achieve effective halal food testing.
