Test Description

Milk is enjoyed in large quantities all over the world. This can put increasing pressure on producers to satisfy this large demand to ensure large financial rewards are safeguarded for producers. This can lead to poor farming practices being utilised to ensure financial rewards are met, which can increase the risk of high levels of veterinary medicine residues being passed on to the end consumer, which can prove harmful to health in some instances.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been manufactured and used in a variety of industries around the globe. These chemicals are very persistent in the environment – meaning they don’t break down and can accumulate over time. Furthermore, there is also evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects. It is therefore important that accurate measurement of these chemicals is carried out to minimise the risk to consumer health.
