The identification and quantification of Nitrofuran metabolites by your testing arrangement are evaluated within this proficiency test.
Animal products for human consumption are tightly legislated and closely monitored for compliance. Veterinary medicines used in animals are likely to have a pharmacological effect in humans. Hence, for many veterinary medicines, there are extremely low maximum residue limits or even no MRL (i.e. any detection is non-compliant). The Fapas proficiency test materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set. The result reporting requirements are also in keeping with quality control guidelines laid out in EC/657/2002.
Chicken is an important area to take into account when highlighting potentially high levels of veterinary medicines in livestock. This is due to how it continues to be globally consumed in large quantities, giving supply chains and food testing laboratories challenges to maintain safe produce offered to the consumer. In addition the possibility of high levels of residues which may build up through poor production practices, which can be harmful when ingested by consumers.
Your effective testing ability is therefore challenged to achieve the high quality testing ability required across a range of testing environments and external factors. To help you identify the areas of improvement or concern within your current testing arrangement Fapas proficiency tests should be used to benchmark your performance against industry. By using real food matrices as part of this proficiency test your results are directly comparable to your routine testing arrangement, allowing timely improvements to be made directly benefiting your customers.
