Animal products for human consumption are tightly legislated and closely monitored for compliance. This is because veterinary medicines used in animals are likely to have similar pharmacological effects in humans. Hence, for many veterinary medicines there are extremely low maximum residue limits (MRL), or even no limit, with any detection classed as non-compliant. This puts a large emphasis on the accuracy of testing laboratories across a range of matrices when detecting these potential contaminants.
Veterinary medicines used in animals are likely to have a pharmacological effect in humans. Hence, for many veterinary medicines, there are extremely low maximum residue limits or even no limit with any detection classed as non-compliant. The Fapas quality control materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set. Veterinary medicines are also used across a range of livestock all around the world. Therefore the substantial impact reach which can be achieved through large scale poor farming practices requires effective testing processes from which to mitigate any risks to the consumer.
Chicken Muscle is an important area to consider when highlighting potentially high levels of veterinary medicines in livestock. This is due to the role the kidney muscle plays within the body and the fact that it is so widely consumed. and the potentially high levels of residues which may build up through poor production practises.
The Fapas proficiency testing (PT) materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set. The result reporting requirements are also in keeping with quality control guidelines laid out in EC/657/2002. Fapas veterinary medicine PT materials include incurred residues as well as fortified animal products. As such Fapas proficiency tests are suitable for all methods, including screening, and are grouped in analytical chemical class/matrix combinations and combine identification and quantification.
