Test Description

Although meat spoilage is almost impossible to stop, measures can be taken to ensure bacteria and micro-organisms within beef are controlled and kept at low levels for an acceptable amount of time. These best practices and measures require effective monitoring through accurate testing procedures. To ensure accurate testing measures across an ever changing food environment, effective quality control processes, using proficiency testing activities as the foundation should be used to ensure true results are being found across a range of bacteria.

Fapas microbiology proficiency tests include the background fauna seen within your routine test samples. This challenges your labs to isolate, detect and quantify any levels of the target analyte much as they would within a routine testing arrangement. This provides the best way to gain valuable insights into any testing bias you may have, or areas from which improvements can be made to benefit the accuracy of your tests.

Beef as a foodstuff is increasingly popular as a growing population begins to gain a taste for meat and meat based products. This can put strain on supply chains, allowing low quality and potentially spoiled meats to be sold to the consumer.
