Test Description

Food processing can itself produce contaminants due to chemical reactions. Melamine came to prominence as an illegal additive to pet food and infant formula to increase the apparent protein content. Melamine transforms to cyanuric acid and, in combination, the two compounds complex and can form dangerous crystals in the kidney causing serious health problems. The adulteration of foods with melamine is still a risk.

To maintain the accurate testing ability needed to highlight and accurately quantify the presence of melamine within animal feed. To aid within this Fapas proficiency tests can provide the benchmark snapshot you need to evaluate your current testing ability. Our proficiency tests utilise real food test samples, and as such can provide direct comparisons to your routine analysis activities. This can speed up the actions required for any potential deficiencies you may have, to provide your customers with the high quality testing standards they require to satisfy both customers and regulators of high quality, safe animal feed.

Animal feed is an integral part of livestock farming. It forms the basis for a good quality stock from which to ensure adequate financial returns. It is therefore paramount for your testing standards to adequately highlight any potential adulteration within livestock feed. As the global population continues to increase, the demand for meats will continue to increase, resulting in a large amount of pressure forced upon global livestock, and therefore feed, supply chains.
