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.
Raspberries and other fruits enjoy a large demand from consumers due to their perceived health benefits as part of a balanced diet. Oranges are also incredibly popular, and due to this they are grown more than any other tree fruit. As a result, it is important to ensure your testing practices are able to highlight any high levels of a range of pesticide residues on these fruits.
Fapas quality control materials 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 be used to action any areas of improvement highlighted within your proficiency testing activities. This is in addition to removing bias through effective staff training exercises.
