Test Description

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.

Quality control materials are the perfect way to track your progress against a control. They are used to validate whether a testing instrument or process is operating within pre-defined specifications. This validation process makes sure your test results are as close to the true value as possible, and therefore your testing process is a credible as it can be.
