In many countries, genetically modified organisms (GMO) legislation has been established in order to guarantee the traceability of food/feed products on the market and to protect the consumer freedom of choice. This matrix is an animal feed which is a much more complicated matrix than a simple flour, containing a number of different ingredients and passing though a processing stage.
Within this proficiency test your testing capability for GM Maize & Soya events are evaluated. This gives you the ability to test & report for a full range of genetically modified varieties.
Animal feeds play a vital role in ensuring high quality livestock is produced for consumers. As such low quality animal feed can have a dramatic effect on the health and therefore quality of livestock. It is therefore imperative to ensure only high quality testing practices are used to protect the consumer and highlight potentially undisclosed GM events.
GM Events can have many advantages such as improved disease resistance and increased yield. There are also some disadvantages associated with GM produce. As such it is important to highlight GM events within produce, to ensure consumer choice is protected. To ensure this identification is accurate high quality testing practices are required. Fapas proficiency testing activities can be utilised to highlight areas of improvement within your current testing ability.
Fapas proficiency tests make use of real food matrices, for which to provide direct comparisons to your current testing arrangement. This can result in timely improvements being made within your current testing practises and therefore ensuring only high quality testing practices and therefore highly accurate and credible results, are offered to consumers. These measures can also be utilised to satisfy regulators of your ongoing quality assurance commitments to high quality testing.
