Test Description

There is a growing demand for vegan (plant-based) foods driven by greater awareness for animal welfare and concern for the growing contribution to global warming from biologically produced methane, a more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Reducing biological methane production by switching to plant based foods and reducing the livestock needed to support the quantity of meat consumed is viewed as a potential ‘quick win’ in the war on climate change. Reducing biological methane production could have a measurable effect in ten years due to the fact that methane is much shorter-lived in the atmosphere than other greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and hydrofluorocarbons.

Vegan foods still require to  be tested for labelling purposes, just like any other food, and so we have introduced this proficiency test for a range or routine nutritional tests.
