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 can allow you to evaluate your testing ability for a variety of proximates including sodium and chloride (not 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 etc.

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 analysis practises or areas for improvement, from which to ensure high quality test results are offered to consumers.

Canned meat offers many advantages over fresh equivalents, namely storage times and cost savings as a result. Hence its popularity has increased which may cause supply chain challenges. This will require effective testing measures to ensure high quality testing measures.

Reference materials offer key advantages for laboratories, over and above that of quality control materials. With an improved degree of characterisation compared to proficiency tests or quality control materials, reference materials have a plethora of uses, including method calibration.

They also have a defined chain of traceability, so you know exactly what is in your reference materials. This is further supported through our reference materials associated data sheet which covers its reference values and expanded uncertainty. This datasheet is invaluable for method validation or verification as well as an effective tool for staff training, to standardise your testing processes, and achieve repeatable high quality testing
