Test Description

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi and moulds on agricultural commodities in the field or during storage. Vast quantities of dried herbs are traded globally and they must be carefully dried and then stored under suitable conditions in order to prevent mould growth and and subsequent contamination with mycotoxins including Ochratoxin A.

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.

Fapas quality control materials can be used to validate whether a testing instrument or process is operating within pre-defined specifications. This validation process makes sure your test results are as close to the true value as possible, and therefore your testing process is a credible as it can be.
