Food additives, including 'E numbers', are controlled by regulators to maintain high quality products with designed characteristics to give key advantages to products, while keeping controlled nutrients within acceptable levels for the consumer.
This requires accurate laboratory testing, to detect and quantify levels of these controlled food additives and substances. As such, effective quality control steps, such as utilising regular proficiency tests to provide key snapshots of regular testing capabilities, to track your testing progress and maintain high quality testing across a range of analytes. Fapas proficiency tests utilise real food matrices to provide directly comparable results to your existing routine testing activities. This provides an immediate platform from which to inform your quality control procedures and highlight any areas where improvement would prove beneficial to your current testing arrangement.
Edible oils make up a large part of many different cooking processes, and as such must be rigorously controlled to mitigate any risks that may come from added elements such as preservatives or sweeteners within oils.
