Two test materials will be provided. Qualitative and/or Quantitative test. Results will be grouped and assessed according to the brand of ELISA kit used. Thus limited data may preclude assessment of small categories.
The EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation No.1169/2011 lists 14 food allergens that must always be labelled in pre-packed and non-prepacked foods. Egg is one of the allergens in this list and is found in many products.
Gluten, Egg and Milk make up many of the main components of cake mixes. As substitutes continue to increase in popularity, the importance to prevent cross contamination between those with and without potential allergens is of growing importance.
Cake mix offers a great matrix to validate your detection and quantification capabilities due to the challenging nature of the foodstuff, being a mix of various core ingredients from which contamination can easily occur.
To be sure of your effective testing arrangement, Fapas proficiency tests can offer a snapshot into your testing ability, showing the areas of improvement or potential areas of bias within your results. This allows your quality control procedures to be well informed when making any test based decisions.
Fapas proficiency test materials take this a step further. By using real food matrices, Fapas proficiency test results can be directly comparable to your real world routine test results. This allows you to make timely decisions to improve your testing ability and pass high quality test results directly to your customers.
It is important that consumers with food allergies or intolerances are able to make informed choices when choosing products; by taking part in this test you are ensuring an independent verification of your testing procedures to comply with regulation. Results will be grouped and assessed according to the brand of ELISA kit used. Thus limited data may preclude assessment of small categories.
