Test Description

The EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation No.1169/2011 lists 14 food allergens that must always be labelled in pre-packed and non-prepacked foods.  Histamine is not one of the allergens in this list as it is classed as an intolerance rather than an allergen; however, the symptoms are very similar. Histamine may develop in some species of seafood and its presence is controlled by legislation in the EU. 

It is important that consumers with food allergies or intolerances are able to make informed choices when choosing products; by taking part in this test you are ensuring an independent verification of your testing procedures to comply with regulation.

Quality control materials provide effective tools to build and provide ongoing detail to quality improvement efforts. By building on the snapshot of proficiency testing activities, a long term picture of your laboratory's testing ability can be provided, to impress both accreditors and potential customers of your testing credibility.

Quality control materials should be used in conjunction with the Fapas proficiency tests FCAL10-SEA7 Histamine in Canned Fish to provide wide ranging quality assurance tools to use within your testing arrangement.
