Wheat flour is globally the most widely produced flour, so robust analysis within this matrix is key to continued laboratory success. Fapas' real food matrices give the most true-to-life representation of your routine testing, challenging your laboratory's testing capabilities.
The analytes of interest on this occasion are multiple mycotoxins, including Aflatoxins. Aflatoxin is a potent carcinogen produced by the Aspergillus flavous and Aspergillus parasiticus moulds which commonly grow and can be found in many food types including cereal crops.
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.
To be sure of your effective testing practices, well-designed quality assurance programmes must be introduced. Fapas proficiency tests can form the basis of these, from which to provide incremental, long term solutions to maintain a high quality testing service offered to your customers. Fapas test materials utilise real food samples that are immediately comparable to your current routine analysis activities. This allows you to highlight and action areas of improvement quickly and easily across a range of potential issues.
