Within this quality control material, your performance for the analysis of ZON, DON, T-2, and HT-2 in wheat flour can be evaluated.
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.
Toxins DON and ZON (deoxynivalenol and zearalenone respectively) are included in the highly regulated mycotoxins. Wheat flour incurs many of the same risks associated with poor storage practices. As such the ability to highlight contaminants within flour is of significant importance to protect both manufacturers from loss of reputation and consumers from unsafe produce.
Fapas Quality control materials use real food matrices to highlight effective areas of improvement within your current testing practices and help you maintain your ongoing testing performance between proficiency testing rounds.
Fapas quality control materials come with detailed datasheets with define analyte ranges, allowing you to ensure your testing practices are fit for purpose and without bias or method dependencies. Fapas quality control materials can be used as key staff training aids.
