Test Description

Wheat flour is globally the most widely produced flour, so robust analysis within this matrix is key to continued laboratory success. Fapas' real food matrices give the most true-to-life representation of your routine testing, challenging your laboratory's testing capabilities.

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 PTs 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/11945/2015.

To ensure a high quality crop suppliers regularly use pesticides to reduce disease and pests within their crop. Through good farming practises the levels of pesticides passed to the consumer is low and manageable below safe levels. Suppliers may not always be utilising good farming practise, so it is important to ensure high quality testing to identify any high levels of various pesticides being passed to consumers.

Fapas proficiency testing activities can ensure your testing practises meet industry standards by highlighting areas of improvement within your current routine analysis activities. Through the use of challenging, real food matrices within test materials; areas of improvement can be highlighted quickly and concisely, to provide effective steps to ensure only high quality test results are offered to consumers.
