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 soybeans 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.

This quality control material is targeted at Ochratoxin A (OTA) analysis, which has an EU MRL for many commodities. This is due to the fact OTA has been labelled as a carcinogen and a nephrotoxin.

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 make use of real food matrices, from which to provide direct comparison with your real world testing arrangement. Through effective quality assurance methods areas of improvement can be addressed, from which to achieve high quality testing and control any areas of bias which may negatively affect results. Through activities such as staff training and instrumentation verification this bias can be addressed
