Test Description

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi on agricultural commodities in the field or during storage.  It is estimated at 25% of the world's food crops are affected, resulting in large commercial losses. Mycotoxins can cause serious health problems (including some being suspected carcinogens) and so are tightly regulated across the world. Mycotoxin contamination is the largest cause of rapid alerts raised against imported food products.

Ochratoxin A is well known to occur within commodities such as cereals including wheat.  As such there is a real need to provide good storage practices across the global supply chain to mitigate these risks. Your food testing ability can provide a valuable tool to achieve these risk mitigation goals.

The lower yield from the increase in disease among livestock as mycotoxins take effect can be catastrophic for farmers’ ongoing financial and reputational success as low quality yield or low quantity can hurt buyer relationships in both the short and long term.

Reference material have a defined chain of traceability. 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.
