This quality control material will allow you to evaluate your testing ability for a range of trace elements within squid. From this, valuable areas of improvement can be found, as well as demonstrating your testing standards to regulators, and customers if required.
The presence of heavy metals in food is of concern due to their toxicity to animals and humans. 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 regularly occur in food, either as a natural contaminant or a contaminant from the production environment. Their effects are varied and far reaching, (such as inhibiting nutrient absorption in the case of cadmium).
Quality control materials can be utilised to track the improvements made within your quality assurance activities. This is in addition to the effective standardisation work that can be done with Fapas quality control materials, where credible, reliable test results can be obtained.
