Test Description

Food additives and ingredients can provide the unique characteristics of a product's success. This is especially the case within Cola and other soft drinks, where their ingredients have been selected to provide a designed taste, that in some cases is legally protected. The use of additives such as caffeine must be effectively controlled, as large amounts of these additives can prove harmful to humans when consumed. Other additives such as Benzoic Acid and Saccharin used as preservatives and sweeteners respectively,  must also be controlled, due to the large impact they have on both the product characteristics, and potential safety of the foodstuff. 

To protect the consumer, and provide high quality produce, effective proficiency measures should be taken to ensure high quality testing is undertaken across a long term timescale. This both protects the manufacturer from potential liable costs, and the consumer from low quality products. To ensure high quality testing within cola is safeguarded, Fapas proficiency tests should be utilised to benchmark your testing ability, and provide a snapshot from which to make informed quality control decisions to improve your testing capabilities within a range of foodstuffs such as cola and soft drinks.

Fapas proficiency tests are directly comparable to your routine testing results, due to real food matrices being utilised.
