Ochratoxin A

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.
Barley flour is used across a large number of foodstuffs, as well as being sold as an individual product direct to the consumer. As such there is a great demand across the globe which must be satisfied year round. This leads to storage challenges for producers which in turn can promote a high risk of mycotoxin, and more specifically Ochratoxin contamination.
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.
