Test Description

This Fapas quality control material is ideal to evaluate your testing ability for a range of pesticides within celery puree. The pesticide residues proficiency tests now have an extensive target list, offering a comprehensive range of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, pyrethroids, organophosphates, organochlorine pesticides and neonicotinoids. This quality control material has the assigned values of named analytes.

Celery continues to maintain high levels of global consumption, resulting in significant strain across this complex, global supply chain. As a result of this demand, poor pesticide usage practices may be employed to maintain crop quantity and quality. This can have an impact on the levels of pesticide residues passed to consumers, resulting in potentially unsafe foodstuffs.

Pesticides are used extensively across the globe. They have effective yield improving qualities but must be used properly to reduce any residues passed on to animals or consumers. This can often be the case due to their extensive benefits and therefore the short-term gains that can be made.

Most countries now have an extensive monitoring scheme for pesticide residues written into their legislation. There are more than 1000 compounds used worldwide as pesticides or plant protection products. When used properly, according to good agricultural practice, any residues can be expected to be below maximum residue limits. The Fapas pesticide residues proficiency tests are based on the EU monitoring list and associated MRLs but are widely applicable to most geographic areas. We also base our statistical data analysis in keeping with quality assurance guidelines as laid out in EC SANTE/11813/2017.

Fapas quality control materials make use of real food matrices to provide direct comparisons to your current routine analysis activities. This is vital to ensure only high-quality testing practises are employed by your laboratory to achieve the highest standard test results possible.

Through activities such as staff training and instrumentation validation Fapas quality control materials make a significant impact within your wider quality assurance practises to safeguard your high-quality testing ability.
