Contamination of matrix with two or more from the following list:
This proficiency test provides a mycotoxin contamination test material, which may contain any mycotoxin from the list provided. As a rule the test material will contain 2 or more of the stated mycotoxins listed. This is the only round available in this matrix, animal feed (cereal based), that Fapas provides on an annual basis.
Animal feed affects a large range of foodstuffs due to its key position within the supply chain, as such effective testing is key to provide accurate results to protect consumers and manufacturers from low quality products.
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi on agricultural commodities in the field or during storage. It is estimated at 25% of the world's food crops are affected, resulting in large commercial losses. Mycotoxins can cause serious health problems (including some being suspected carcinogens) and so are tightly regulated across the world. Mycotoxin contamination is the largest cause of rapid alerts raised against imported food products.
Fapas has introduced multi-mycotoxin proficiency tests as well as those for emerging mycotoxins.
