Test Description

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 a wide range of quality control materials for you to maintain your high quality testing standards.

This quality control material is based on a typical fish paste that might be bought in a supermarket as a culinary ingredient. Hence, the analytes are the routine nutritional components of moisture, ash, total fat, nitrogen, sodium and chloride.

Proximates 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. Quality control activities are ideal to highlight any poor analysis practices or areas for improvement, from which to ensure high quality test results are offered to your customers. Manufacturers may also make bold labelling claims that should be verified to determine their accuracy, something which requires extensive, flexible techniques.

Fish pastes are used in a variety of recipes worldwide, and are sold as both an individual product as well as being part of a range of processed foods. This can lead to a large amount of demand that may challenge complex, global supply chains and may in fact have a detrimental impact on product quality offered to consumers. This range of factors highlights the requirement for effective testing measures from testing laboratories to protect consumers from low quality produce.

Quality control materials are invaluable in maintaining the high quality testing required to maintain the high testing standards expected by both your customers and regulators. Fapas quality control materials make use of real food matrices, which can allow you to highlight areas of bias within your current routine analysis arrangement. This could be in the form of staff training measures, or instrumentation verification activities.
