Test Description

Within this quality control material, your testing ability for a range of mycotoxins, including aflatoxins, within oat flour can be evaluated. An aflatoxin is a potent carcinogen produced by the Aspergillus flavous and Aspergillus parasiticus moulds which commonly grow and can be found in corn, which can subsequently enter into animal feed.

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.

Quality control materials from Fapas make use of real food matrices, from which to ensure direct comparisons can be made with your current routine analysis activities. This can ensure any areas of improvement are relevant and concise to action in an efficient way, to pass directly to your customers and regulators alike. These are invaluable to ensure your testing ability is competitive within a saturated business environment.
