Pesticide residues are regulated in many countries and for many commodities, with maximum residue limits set within EU and other legislation. Pesticide residues can translocate across the food chain and into animal products. This proficiency test is for laboratories analysing fat-soluble pesticide residues in animal products and plant-derived fats or oils.
Pesticide residues within fish are becoming a large issue with the increased amount of farmed fish in global production today, as well as the large scale consumption of fish globally. These residues are regulated in many countries and for many commodities, with maximum residue limits set within EU and other legislation. Pesticide residues can translocate across the food chain and into animal products, thereby contaminating foodstuffs and can potentially cause adverse effects through consumption.
Laboratories with a key interest in analysing fat-soluble pesticide residues in animal products and plant-derived fats or oils can use these proficiency tests to further benchmark their quality control processes for high level screening and testing capabilities.
Proficiency testing activities are vital to maintain the highly accurate testing ability required to highlight high levels of pesticide residues across a range of foodstuffs.
