Heavy, toxic metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are often found in food, either as a natural contaminant or a contaminant from production. This proficiency test includes total, inorganic and organic forms of arsenic (monomethylarsonic acid V (MMA(V) and dimethylarsinic acid V (DMA(V)) detection and analysis as well as other heavy metal detections to benchmark your testing capabilities within a multi-analyte testing environment.
Through Fapas’ use of real food matrices within test materials, valuable results can be derived to inform your quality control process and provide key highlights for improvements and where they should be made.
To ensure the effective testing required to highlight unscrupulous manufacturers or misleading labelling claims well-designed quality assurance programmes should be employed. Fapas proficiency tests should be used to form the benchmark of these quality assurance activities, to ensure effective testing abilities are maintained.
