Pepper is used across a large range of foodstuffs worldwide as a seasoning ingredient. Peppercorns are among the most widely traded spices in the world, which can form large challenges to maintain high quality, safe produce used as ingredients within manufacturers’ foodstuffs.
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.
This strict regulation requires effective and accurate testing capabilities, which through proficiency testing can be maintained or achieved.
Heavy, toxic metals such as arsenic, cadmium and lead are often found in food, either as a natural contaminant or a contaminant from production. Their effects are various and far reaching, such as inhibiting nutrient absorption in the case of cadmium.
Reference materials can be used to both standardise your testing arrangement through instrument calibration and staff training activities. Reference materials are also a valuable asset for method verification due to the known uncertainty present within the material and accompanying data sheet.
