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.
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.
Food storage is a growing part of the global supply chain, and as such effective testing is needed to protect the consumer from low quality products and maintain a high level of food safety across the global supply chain. Laboratories must ensure accurate testing methods are utilised, leading to large quality control processes across multiple methods. By utilising a strong proficiency track record, your quality control processes can be benchmarked to facilitate leading food testing capabilities across a plethora of analyte/matrix combinations. This can result in improved customer numbers and as such improved financial reward.
Quality control materials help you track your testing standards across a longer period than proficiency testing activities alone. This can help you gauge any return on investment for your quality control efforts as well as a tool for standardising your testing ability through staff training efforts and instrumentation calibration controls.
Liver can be susceptible to food contaminants owing to its position and role within the body. As such it is important to provide ongoing effective testing within this foodstuff as global consumption continues to stay high.
