Test Description

Tomato paste is used within large amounts of recipes and processed foods, as such there is a large reliance on the need for accurate testing. As a concentrated foodstuff, contaminants may be found in higher levels than in its unprocessed state. This problem is only going to increase as food consumption continues to grow globally, putting further pressure on producers.

The heavy metals within this reference material include Cadmium, Iron, Lead and Tin.

Heavy metals have a track record of causing health risks when consumed in high numbers and as such there is a large amount of legislation around heavy metals.

Within an ever more global food supply chain, the importance of robust quality control processes cannot be questioned. This gives testing laboratories a large degree of responsibility to test accurately across various analytes and food matrices.

Using reference materials to provide tools from which to standardise testing practices and remove any bias within your testing activities. Reference materials can also be used to validate methods of detection to future-proof high quality testing activities.

Material uses high levels of contamination within test materials to prove detection and quantification across a range of trace elements.

Robust quality control processes are needed to ensure a high standard of testing across multiple analytes and foodstuffs and by using proficiency testing as a benchmark you can highlight key areas for improvements.
