Dithiocarbamates
Dithiocarbamates (as CS2) in Cereal is not currently within scope of accreditation to ISO 17043.
Cereals are marketed based on their nutritional claims, which should therefore, be accurate and validated to ensure consumers are able to make well-informed purchase decisions. As a result, legislative bodies require extensive testing measures to be undertaken to ensure products meet labelling requirements.
Dithiocarbamates are a range of fungicides (a type of pesticide) and their wide-ranging advantages and relatively low effects on the environment have resulted in their widespread use. It is therefore important to ensure that good pesticide usage practices are being used, from which to ensure only safe foodstuffs are being offered to consumers. Pesticides are used extensively across the globe. They have effective yield improving qualities but must be used properly to reduce any residues passed on to animals or consumers. This can often be the case due to their extensive benefits and therefore the short-term gains that can be made.
Proficiency testing is required to highlight any improvements across your current testing arrangement. Proficiency testing from Fapas should be utilised as a benchmark for your current routine testing arrangement. As such it is important to provide direct comparisons between your proficiency test results and current testing arrangement, this is aided using Fapas real food test materials as part of this proficiency test.
