Phthalates
Food Simulant and blank
Phthalates are a group of synthetic compounds mainly used within plastics, and as such can affect foodstuffs via food packaging migration to achieve non-intentionally added substances.
Phthalates have been classified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals and potential cancer causing agents. As such they are highly controlled and regulated, challenging laboratory testing providers to achieve high degrees of accuracy when detecting this type of compound within food.
Foods are packaged in materials intended to protect the product, increase shelf life and make it more attractive to the consumer. These materials can however lead to undesirable chemicals leaching into the foods. The tests are defined by standard methods and standardised food simulants.
Within this proficiency test the migration of phthalates in oil food simulant will be tested. Specific phthalates to be identified will be notified at the time of the test. This test will challenge your laboratories to achieve high quality, accurate testing that is useful within your routine testing activities.
