Within this proficiency test your testing capability for biocides, as used on pre-prepared salads herbs, are specifically evaluated.
Herbs are widely used in cuisine and demand is expected throughout the year, not just seasonally. This can lead to increasing strain on complex global supply chains to meet demand. It is important to highlight poor quality produce from which to ensure consumer safety.
To ensure a high-quality crop, suppliers regularly use pesticides to reduce disease and pests within their crop. Through good farming practices, the levels of pesticides passed to the consumer is low and manageable below safe levels. Suppliers may not always be utilising good farming practice, so it is important to ensure high-quality testing to identify any high levels of various pesticides being passed to consumers.
Fapas proficiency testing measures are invaluable for ensuring only high-quality test results are offered to your customers and regulators alike. This can be achieved through the use of challenging test materials, which are enabled due to the real food matrices Fapas utilise. These challenging test materials can ensure effective areas of improvement are highlighted, with areas of importance available to ensure test results are detailed and accurate enough to satisfy your customers.
