Test Description

This quality control material 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 quality control materials make use of real food matrices to provide direct comparisons to your current routine analysis activities. This is vital to ensure only high quality testing practises are employed by your laboratory to achieve the highest standard test results possible.

Through activities such as staff training and instrumentation validation Fapas quality control materials make a significant impact within your wider quality assurance practises to safeguard your high quality testing ability.
