Test Description

Due to recent food alerts, we now introduce nitroimdazoles as new analytes in chicken (hens) eggs. This proficiency test evaluates your testing ability to safeguard the high quality testing our customers enjoy.

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 quality control material 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. Fapas veterinary medicine quality control materials include incurred residues as well as fortified animal products. The proficiency tests are grouped in analytical chemical class/matrix combinations and combine identification and quantification. The quality control material are suitable for all methods, including screening methods (for the detection of total amount of that chemical class).

Chicken eggs are consumed in vast quantities across the globe. This can put a large amount of strain on global supply chains, as well as creating real challenges for food testing laboratories to highlight any low quality, or contaminated foodstuffs.

Veterinary medicines are utilised as part of livestock management activities, allowing quality to be improved through disease mitigation, and therefore financial success of producers livestock. Effective testing processes must therefore be in place to highlight poor farming practices and highlight any excessive use of veterinary medicines, which can have a detrimental effect on the quality of foodstuffs passed to the consumer.

Through real food matrices, Fapas quality control materials are immediately comparable to your routine analysis, this can allow you to highlight and act on potential disparities within your ongoing test results.
