Test Description

The presence of metals in food is of particular concern due to their toxicity. These naturally occurring chemicals can occur as residues in food by a range of mechanisms such as their natural presence in the environment or contamination during food processing and storage. Their accumulation in the body can lead to harmful effects over time and their presence in foodstuffs is strictly regulated.

Heavy, toxic metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are often found in food, either as a natural contaminant or a contaminant from production. This proficiency test looks at Arsenic, Cadmium and Lead in detail. These heavy metals can contaminate foodstuffs in a number of ways including though contaminated soils. As such is important to be able to highlight any potentially high levels of these heavy metals within foodstuffs.

Chilli powder is used within a wide range of processed foodstuffs as well as an individual ingredient. This increases consumption, which are already at high levels across the globe. This challenges both manufacturers and testing labs to highlight potentially unsafe foods that may otherwise be sold to consumers.

Fapas quality control materials can be used to validate whether a testing instrument or process is operating within pre-defined specifications. This validation process makes sure your test results are as close to the true value as possible, and therefore your testing process is a credible as it can be.
