Test Description

Within this quality control your testing ability for Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are evaluated within Fish oil, with an option on Omega-9 fatty acids where these are sufficiently abundant in the test material.

Fat is an essential part of the human diet, supplying nutritional components that the body needs in order to function. Too much fat in the diet, especially of nutritionally undesirable forms, can give rise to health problems. Hence, fat is subject to labelling requirements on food products and analyses are targeted towards this compliance.

Fish oils enjoy constant global demand from a range of nations. This can lead to complex supply chain challenges and risks of low quality produce being offered to consumers. Your effective testing ability is vital to ensure only high quality produce is offered by producers.

To maintain this accurate testing required, Fapas quality controls should be used as part of a well-designed quality assurance programme, to highlight any areas of improvement required within your current testing arrangement. Fapas quality controls can also help highlight areas of unconscious bias within your testing arrangement, from which to address and obtain accurate, repeatable results.
