Test Description

Nutritional components test. As nutritional legislation increases, the proficiency of laboratories to provide accurate results to food manufacturers for labelling is critical, to help consumers make informed choices about the food they eat. Fapas offers the widest range of analyte/matrix proficiency test combinations for the food sector.

This reference material helps to evaluate your testing capability for a variety of proximates including sodium and chloride (separately, not as salt). For Total fat, state the use of acid hydrolysis. Matrix (meat type) will change between each test but will be one of Pork, Beef, Chicken, and Processed Meat. This is a meat based meal and will include a sauce and ingredients other than meat.

Proximates are effective to analyse nutritional values of foodstuffs, which can inform a variety of characteristics of food products, such as quality and composition. As such effective testing is required to highlight any misleading claims or inaccurate nutritional values. Proficiency testing activities are ideal to highlight any poor analytical practices or areas for improvement, from which to ensure high quality test results are offered to consumers.

As such it is crucial for laboratories to maintain a well-designed quality assurance system, from which to highlight areas of poor testing performance, from which to address. Fapas reference materials offer test materials with accredited data sheets from which to inform and evaluate your testing ability in relation to acceptable values.

Fapas reference materials can be used to standardise your testing processes, through staff training and instrumentation calibration, but to a higher degree of accuracy than can be achievable with quality control materials alone.

Fapas reference materials are fully traceable, from accredited institutions, so you are sure to achieve valuable insights into your testing ability.
