As such regulators set safe levels for veterinary medicines in food which must be strictly adhered to by producers. To be sure of this testing providers are challenged by regulators to achieve highly accurate testing ability across a large range of controlled analytes in a range of testing environments. To provide evidence of accurate testing, effective quality control measures must be in place. Fapas proficiency testing offer the best way to benchmark your performance against industry, and provide comparable results from which to improve or maintain your testing ability. 

Fish muscle is the most highly consumed form of fish globally. As such it is the subject of lower residue levels compared to other parts fish. This high consumption can leave the supply chain at risk from poor farming practises, which can affect large amounts of consumers globally, owing to the global fish supply chain.
