Adulteration
This proficiency test is not currently within scope of ISO 17043 accreditation.
Pepper is used across a large range of foodstuffs worldwide as a seasoning ingredient. Peppercorns are among the most widely traded spices in the world, which can form large challenges to maintain high quality, safe produce used as ingredients within manufacturers’ foodstuffs.
Deliberate food adulteration for economic gain is increasing, with high profile issues making national or international news. There is now a greater emphasis on authenticity testing with a number of international projects addressing the analytical problems. The Fapas authenticity and adulteration proficiency tests allow laboratories to assess their detection capability for undeclared high level substitutions.
Fapas proficiency tests can challenge your testing laboratories to ensure only high-quality testing standards are achieved. This can therefore ensure your customers, and regulators, receive highly accurate test results without significant bias.
