Test Description

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 quality control materials as well as those for emerging mycotoxins.

Aflatoxins are specific mycotoxins caused by Aspergillus species of fungi. It is crucial for effective testing practices to be utilised to accurately identify this mycotoxin group from which to form mitigation and control strategies within an ever increasing global supply chain.

Quality control process can help you maintain high quality testing across your laboratory by standardising laboratory practices and removing unconscious bias through instrument calibration. Fapas quality controls are directly comparable to your real life testing activities, and as such can reduce the time taken to act when addressing key testing issues.
